Abstract

Objective: Deep neck infections are characterized by infections in the potential spaces of the fascial planes of the neck. The objective of the study was to evaluate the characteristics of patients with deep neck infec- tions who were admitted to pediatric infectious dis- ease clinics. Materials and Methods: The data of patients with deep neck infection was analyzed retrospectively for demographic characteristics, clinical presentation, microbiological and radiological findings, complica- tions, and outcomes between January 2010 and December 2014. Results: During the study period, a total of 18 patients diagnosed with deep neck infection were fol- lowed. Of these, 10 patients (55.6%) were male and the mean age was 84±60.5 months (18–192 months). The most common symptoms at presentation were neck mass (72%) and fever (67%). Three patients (16.6%) had peritonsillar, 7 (39%) had parapharyn- geal, 7 (39%) had retropharyngeal, and 1 (5.4%) had parapharyngeal-retropharyngeal infection. Cefotaxime+clindamycin or cefotaxime+clindamycin+ gentamicin were the most frequently (78%) used anti- biotics. Eleven patients (61%) recovered with only antibiotic treatment. Surgical drainage was performed in 7 patients (39%) who were unresponsive to antibi- otic treatment (5 with parapharyngeal, 1 with retro- pharyngeal, and 1 with peritonsillar abscess). Microorganisms were isolated from 6 (33%) patients’ drainage samples. The median length of hospitaliza- tion was 14 (7–21) days. The mean duration of antibi- otic treatment was 19.3±4.4 days. Acute glomerulone- phritis developed in 1 patient with retropharyngeal abscesses. No recurrence/relapse or mortality was observed. Conclusion: Deep neck infections should be consid- ered in the differential diagnosis of children who present with fever and neck mass. Most patients with deep neck infections can be treated with antibiotics; however, if there is no clinical improvement, surgical drainage must be performed immediately.

Özet

Amaç: Derin boyun enfeksiyonları derin fasya yaprak- ları arasındaki potansiyel boşluklarda gelişen enfeksi- yondur. Bu çalışmada, Çocuk Enfeksiyon Hastalıkları Kliniğinde derin boyun enfeksiyonu tanısıyla yatarak izlenen olguların değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Ocak 2010-Aralık 2014 tarihleri arasında yatarak izlenen derin boyun enfeksiyonlu olguların kayıtları geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Olguların demografik özellikleri, klinik, mikrobiyolojik ve radyolojik bulguları, komplikasyonları ve tedavi yanıtları değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Bu dönemde toplam 18 derin boyun enfek- siyonu tanısı olan olgu izlendi. Çalışmaya alınan olgu- ların 10’u (%55,6) erkekti. Olguların yaş ortalaması 84±60,5 ay (18-192 ay) idi. En sık başvuru yakınması boyunda şişlik (%72) ve ateş yüksekliği (%67) idi. Üç olguda (%16,6) peritonsiller, yedi olguda (%39) para- faringeal, yedi olguda (%39) retrofaringeal ve bir olgu- da (%5,4) parafaringeal-retrofaringeal enfeksiyon saptandı. Sıklıkla (%78) sefotaksim + klindamisin ya da sefotaksim + klindamisin + gentamisin tedavileri verildi. Onbir olgu (%61) sadece antibiyotik tedavisi ile düzeldi. Antibiyotik tedavisine yanıt alınmayan yedi olguya (%39) cerrahi drenaj uygulandı, cerrahi uygu- lanan olguların, beşinde parafaringeal, birinde peri- tonsiller ve birinde ise retrofaringeal apse vardı. Hastaların altısının (%33) drenaj materyalinde mikro- organizma üredi. Ortanca hastanede yatış suresi 14 (7-21 gün) gün olarak bulundu. Olguların ortalama antibiyotik kullanım süresi 19,3±4,4 gündü. Retrofaringeal apseli bir olguda akut glomerulonefrit tablosu gelişti. İzlemde hastalarda relaps/rekurrens veya mortalite görülmedi. Sonuç: Ateş yüksekliği ve boyunda şişlikle başvuran çocuklarda ayırıcı tanıda derin boyun enfeksiyonları düşünülmelidir. Olguların çoğu antibiyotik ile düzelmektedir, ancak tedaviye yanıt alınmayan olgularda gecikmeden cerrahi drenaj uygulanmalıdır. (J Pediatr Inf 2015; 9: 114-21)
