“…Conversely, the present patienthad a peritonsillar abscess on the same side as the masticator abscess, and there were no CT findings of odontogenic infection intra operatively or involvement of the pterygoid muscles by infection. Another hypothetical route of extension to the masticator abscess from the parapharyngeal space would be anteriorly from the parotid space [2,5,11]. The present patient had involvement of infection into the parotid space; these findings were supported by the elevated blood amylase level.…”

“…Systemic hyperglycemia results in derangement of the immune system including the neutrophil function, celluar immunity, and complement function [1,16]. Diabetes and advanced age have been reported as predisposing factors for more severe complications with spread of deep neck infection [1,2,16]. Whereas we have no confirmation regarding which of these three underlying factors mainly contributed to the unique extensions of the peritonsillar abscess in our patient, the combined anti-viral therapy contributed to the other two factors.…”

“…Deep head and neck infections show preferred pathways of spread, because they develop inside potential spaces formed and lined by layers of the deep neck fascia [1,2]. A peritonsillar abscess represents an infection between the tonsillar capsule and superior constrictor muscle [2].…”

“…Although the pattern of spread varies among patients, a relatively constant trend in the distribution into spaces seems evident because of the relationship of the cervical fascia, which directs and limits the spread of these infections [1,2]. Peritonsillar abscess is the most common type of deep neck infection, and sometimes extends to the lower cervical space via the parapharyngeal space [1].On the other hand, the masticator space is the most prevalent site of spread from odontogenic infection [3][4][5].…”

The Japanese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock 2020 (J‐SSCG 2020), a Japanese‐specific set of clinical practice guidelines for sepsis and septic shock created as revised from J‐SSCG 2016 jointly by the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine and the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine, was first released in September 2020 and published in February 2021. An English‐language version of these guidelines was created based on the contents of the original Japanese‐language version. The purpose of this guideline is to assist medical staff in making appropriate decisions to improve the prognosis of patients undergoing treatment for sepsis and septic shock. We aimed to provide high‐quality guidelines that are easy to use and understand for specialists, general clinicians, and multidisciplinary medical professionals. J‐SSCG 2016 took up new subjects that were not present in SSCG 2016 (e.g., ICU‐acquired weakness [ICU‐AW], post‐intensive care syndrome [PICS], and body temperature management). The J‐SSCG 2020 covered a total of 22 areas with four additional new areas (patient‐ and family‐centered care, sepsis treatment system, neuro‐intensive treatment, and stress ulcers). A total of 118 important clinical issues (clinical questions, CQs) were extracted regardless of the presence or absence of evidence. These CQs also include those that have been given particular focus within Japan. This is a large‐scale guideline covering multiple fields; thus, in addition to the 25 committee members, we had the participation and support of a total of 226 members who are professionals (physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, clinical engineers, and pharmacists) and medical workers with a history of sepsis or critical illness. The GRADE method was adopted for making recommendations, and the modified Delphi method was used to determine recommendations by voting from all committee members. As a result, 79 GRADE‐based recommendations, 5 Good Practice Statements (GPS), 18 expert consensuses, 27 answers to background questions (BQs), and summaries of definitions and diagnosis of sepsis were created as responses to 118 CQs. We also incorporated visual information for each CQ according to the time course of treatment, and we will also distribute this as an app. The J‐SSCG 2020 is expected to be widely used as a useful bedside guideline in the field of sepsis treatment both in Japan and overseas involving multiple disciplines.
