Cupping therapy is a complementary and alternative medical therapy used especially in pain management. It is generally considered a safe procedure, but complications, including life-threatening infection, may still occur. Understanding these complications is essential to safe and evidence-based use of cupping in practice. Here we report a rare case of disseminated Staphylococcus aureus infection after cupping therapy. After wet cupping, a 33-year-old immunocompetent woman developed fever, myalgia, and a productive cough accompanied by acute liver and kidney injury, iliopsoas abscess, and gastrointestinal bleeding. The patient was treated successfully with cefmetazole plus levofloxacin after microbiological and antimicrobial sensitivity testing. Though rarely reported, clinicians, practitioners of cupping therapy, and patients should be aware of the risk of infection after cupping therapy. High hygiene standards are recommended for cupping therapy, even in immunocompetent individuals.

划痕湿拔罐治疗后播散性金黄色葡萄球菌感染一例并文献复习

拔罐疗法是一种补充和替代医学疗法，尤其适用于疼痛管理。它通常被认为是一种安全的手术，但仍可能发生并发症，包括危及生命的感染。了解这些并发症对于在实践中安全和循证使用拔罐至关重要。在这里，我们报告一例罕见的拔罐治疗后播散性金黄色葡萄球菌感染病例。湿拔罐后，一名免疫功能正常的 33 岁女性出现发烧、肌痛和排痰性咳嗽，并伴有急性肝肾损伤、髂腰肌脓肿和消化道出血。在微生物学和抗菌药物敏感性测试后，患者成功接受了头孢美唑加左氧氟沙星治疗。虽然很少有报道，但临床医生、拔罐疗法的从业者，患者应注意拔罐后感染的风险。建议拔罐疗法采用高卫生标准，即使是免疫力强的人也是如此。
