Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Turicella otitidis is an emerging bacterial pathogen.
  • Extraotic infections are uncommon and can be challenging to diagnose.

Observation:

  • A 7-year-old boy presented with a cervical abscess.
  • Turicella otitidis was isolated from the abscess.
  • The clinical presentation and microbiological characteristics were documented.

Findings:

  • This case represents a novel extraotic site of infection for Turicella otitidis.
  • The microbiological features of the infection were analyzed.
  • Clinical data provided insights into the disease presentation.

Implications:
