Abstract

Deep neck infections, which are originated from upper respiratory tract, are bacterial infections involving deep structures of the neck. Unless diagnosed and managed appropriately, these infections may progress rapidly, leading to severe morbidity and mortality. Although, Acinetobacter baumannii plays a significant role in several nosocomial infections, ear nose throat physicians are usually unfamiliar with this bacteria and it is rarely isolated in deep neck infections. In this article, we present a serious case of deep neck infection in which Acinetobacter baumannii was cultured from the abscess. The patient was treated successfully with antibiotic and surgical drainage.

Özet

Derin boyun enfeksiyonları, üst solunum yollarından kaynaklanan ve boynun derin yapılarını etkileyen bakteriyel enfeksiyonlardır. Bu enfeksiyonlar uygun zamanda ve şekilde tanı konulup tedavi edilmezlerse, hızla ilerleyip ciddi morbidite ve mortaliteye neden olurlar. Acinetobacter baumannii birçok hastane kaynaklı enfeksiyonda rol almakla birlikte, kulak burun boğaz hekimlerinin yabancı olduğu ve boyun enfeksiyonlarda nadiren izole edilen bir bakteridir. Bu makalede apse kültüründe Acinetobacter baumannii’nin izole edildiği, ciddi bir derin boyun enfeksiyonu olgusu sunuldu. Hasta antibiyotik tedavisi ve cerrahi drenaj uygulanarak başarıyla tedavi edildi.
