Cartilage inflammation (technically known as chondritis) that is relapsing is very characteristic of the disease.

[2] A common form, auricular perichondritis (perichondritis auriculae) involves infection of the pinna due to infection of traumatic or surgical wound or the spread of inflammation into depth (e.g. Infected transcartilaginous ear piercings).
