Abstract

We report the case of a 30-year-old female patient with Crohn's disease who was receiving infliximab and mesalazine therapy. She presented with left ear pain accompanied by bloody diarrhea and abdominal pain. Initial treatment with ciprofloxacin and aluminum acetate was ineffective, requiring hospitalization. She was treated with intravenous meropenem, clindamycin, and prednisolone, which led to symptom resolution after 12 days. However, 7 months later, the patient developed similar symptoms in the right ear without intestinal involvement. She was hospitalized and treated with intravenous antibiotics, followed by prednisolone treatment.
