ABSTRACT:
Auricular perichondritis is an infection that affects the cartilage tissue of the outer ear, commonly triggered by trauma, piercings, or bacterial infections such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus. The main symptoms include pain, swelling, and redness of the ear. Early diagnosis is essential to prevent complications such as cartilage destruction.
