Aim: The aim of this study was to provide insight about all the common fascial space infections of the neck, their presentation, their etiology, complaints, length of stay, and the treatment given. Patients and Methods: It was conducted in a tertiary center in Nadiad, Gujarat, India. A total of 1034 patients were treated for fascial space infections of the neck in the hospital from 2001 to 2017. There were 63.24% male and 36.75% female with age ranging from 21 days to 96 years having the mean age of 31.4 years. Results: Odontogenic infection with poor oral hygiene as a cause was found in most (78.43%) of the abscesses. Diabetes was the most common comorbid condition found in 98 (9.47%) patients along with HIV found in ten (0.96%) patients. Pain (99.41%), fever (86.07%), swelling (86.94%), and dysphagia/odynophagia (67.21%) were the most common presenting symptoms. Ludwig's angina and submandibular abscess were found to be the most common deep head-and-neck space infection making up for 52% cases. The most common group of microorganisms isolated were Streptococcus sp . (19.82%) and Staphylococcus aureus (18.66%). Conclusion: Treatment was given in the form of incision and drainage of the abscesses (83.69%) and systemic antibiotics (100%). The most common space infection among the deep neck infections is the submandibular space infection (52%). If the etiological factor was not removed which mostly was carious teeth, high chances of recurrence were found (27.27%). Four patients required tracheostomy, and there was one mortality in the entire series.

“…In this study, most of the cases presented with dental infection 50(50%) followed by tonsillar infection 30(30%) ( 27 Yang et al, 26 Bhise et al 25 In this study, Streptococcus 30 (30%) was the most common organism followed by staphylococcus aureus (8%), Coagulase negative staphylococcus (10%), Klebseilla (09%), Escherichia coli (03%), Pseudomonas (07%), Proteus (08%) cases. Mixed infection was found (20%) of cases & no organism was found in (5%) cases (Table-III).Therefore, it was indicated that 5% patient took antibiotic before culture.…”

Background: The knowledge of the local pattern of infection and microorganisms in non-specific neck abscess is essential to enable efficacious treatment for it. Objective: To find out the pattern of bacteria responsible for developing non-specific neck abscess and to analyze the coverage rate of different empiric antimicrobial agents. Materials and methods: It is prospective observational type of study carried out into Department of Otolaryngology & Head Neck Surgery, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka and Department of Clinical Microbiology, ICDDR,B, Dhaka from1st January,2016 to 30th June, 2016. Total 100(Hundred) patients were included in this study. Data were analyzed using computer based programmed statistical package for social science (SPSS). Results: This study was done among 100 patients. In this study 42 cases (42%) were in the (31- 45) years age group. The male patients were 60 (60%) and female were 40 (40%). Majority of patients 70(70%) came from poor class family with 70 (70%) patients came from rural area, 50 (50%) patients had dental infection, 40(40%) patients were smoker, 35 (35%) patients had diabetes mellitus, all the cases (100%) presented with dysphagia and fever. The major complication was necrotizing fasciitis 8 (8%), common space was sub mandibular space (45%), Streptococcus 30 (30%) was the most common organism. Conclusion: The most frequently isolated organism in neck abscess is Streptococcus. J Dhaka Med Coll. 2021; 29(1): 31-37
