  • Title: [Relapsing polychondritis as a rare different diagnosis of erysipelas].
    Author: Krumbholz A, Heinemann C, Ziemer M, Schreiber G, Abendroth B, Preussat K, Peter E.
    Journal: J Dtsch Dermatol Ges; 2004 Apr; 2(4):286-9. PubMed ID: 16285325.
    Abstract:
    A 76-year old patient with painful erythematous swelling of the right ear was initially treated with antibiotics under the suspected diagnosis of erysipelas. Her failure to respond and a history of previous laryngeal and nasal swelling suggested the possibility of relapsing polychondritis. High dose prednisolone therapy produced marked improvement. Relapsing polychondritis should be considered as a rare, but important differential diagnostic consideration for erysipelas.
