“…The majority of patients worked in the informal sector (46.88%). Our result is similar to that of Bréhima et al in 2014 in Mali which reported 31.48% of cases [12] and that of Zegbeh et al in 2020 in Côte d'Ivoire which observed that 31.28% of cases were craftsmen [13]. This result could be explained in the context of the current economic crisis by the proliferation of small trades and the development of self-entrepreneurship in our country.…”

Introduction: Cellulite is an inflammatory process of bacterial origin of cellulo-adipose tissue. Its evolution and management can be marked by complications that can induce sequelae to patients. The purpose of the study was to determine the counts of harm assessed following surgical management of head and neck cellulitis of oral origin in three hospitals in Yaounde. Methodology: A descriptive and retrospective study was conducted in three hospitals in the city of Yaounde during 2021 for 7 months. Included in our research were patients surgically treated for head and neck cellulitis from January 2010 to December 2018. The data collection was done with a pre-designed sheet and the analysis of the results obtained using the EPI info 7.2.2.6 software. Results: Out of 352 patients collected, male accounted for 63% of cases with a sex ratio of 1.69. The average age was 32.52 ± 11.4 years with extremes ranging from 1 to 73 years. About 46.88% worked in the informal sector. The main functional sequelae were edentulism (68.75%), and the average permanent functional deficit (PFD) was 1.61% ±1.15 with extremes between 0 and 7%. Permanent aesthetic damage (PEP) was mostly very mild, rated at 1/7 in 86.65% of cases. The suffering endured (SE) was mainly very mild, at 1/7 in 91.19% of cases. Conclusion: The counts of harm assessed following odontogenic head and neck cellulitis were aesthetic harm, suffering endured and permanent functional deficit.

“…If, cervico-facial cellulitis is clearly regressing in developed countries, they are still very present. Surprisingly, in recent years we have noted their increasing incidence in developing countries [3]- [8]. In Burkina Faso, there is a resurgence of cellulitis due to the lack of access to health care, delayed consultation of patients, the complexity of therapeutic itinerary of patients, self-medication, poor use of antibiotics, and the impoverishment of the population... No study on the scale of the city of Ouagadougou, which includes several hospitals and has taken stock of the epidemiological situation, has yet been carried out on cervicofacial cellulitis due to dental origin, hence the interest of this work.…”

Background: Head and neck cellulitis of dental origin are polymicrobial bacterial infections involving the cellulo-adipose spaces of the face and neck. The objective of this work was to describe the epidemiological and clinical profile of patients with head and neck cellulitis. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted from 1 January to 30 June 2020. All patients consulting for cervico-facial cellulitis of dental origin in 2 university hospitals in Ouagadougou were included in the study. The usual parameters of descriptive statistics were estimated for each variable. Results: Two hundred and ninety-two cases (184 men and 108 women), aged 3 to 85 years were collected. The 25 -35 years old were the most affected (33%). Decay was the leading dental cause (95.6%). The delay in consultation was included within 7 days in 74.66% of cases. Ninety-one-point forty-four percent of patients had poor oral hygiene. Diffuse cellulitis was the most common (64.04%) and peri-mandibular regions were the most invaded (42.81%). Conclusion: The frequencies observed in our study allow us to conclude that cervicofacial cellulitis of dental origin is still frequent and affects a young and disadvantaged population.

“…Fatality rate from 20% to 40% has been reported by some authors [4] [5]. Tooth decay remains the main cause [3] [6] [7]. Also, poor oral hygiene, use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) monotherapy, diabetes, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, pregnancy, and general immunosuppression are relevant contributing factors [4] [7] [8].…”

“…It is classically polymicrobial infection involving the aerobic, anaerobic and aero-anaerobic commensal flora of the oral cavity [9] [10] [11]. The treatment of cervicofacial cellulitis is a medical-surgical emergency, especially in our context where patients are seen for treatment [3] [4] [7]. In addition, pyoculture is negative generally and when it is positive, the results are not available soon.…”

Context and Objective: Cervicofacial cellulitis is a lethal infection without treatment. The aim of this study is to establish the bacteriological and antimicrobial susceptibility profile of cervico-facial cellulitis at the Regional Teaching Hospital (RTH) of Ouahigouya, in order to guide practitioners in the development of effective probabilistic antibiotic therapy protocols. Subjects and Methods: This was a transversal descriptive study with prospective data collection from July 1 to December 31, 2021 at the RTH of Ouahigouya. All cases of suppurative cervicofacial cellulitis that had been the subject of pyoculture were retained. Results: A total of 63 patients were chosen including 41 men, with 40.91 years as the average age and the sex ratio was 1.86. In 90.48% of cases, the front door was dental. All patients took antibiotics before their admission. Pus culture was positive in 34/63 subjects (53.97%) and showed monomicrobial infection. The isolates were Gram-negative bacilli for 20.59% and Gram-positive cocci for 79.41%. These isolates were all resistant to certain beta-lactams (such as amoxicillin, amoxicillin + clavulanic acid). However, some isolates were susceptible to cefoxitin, ceftazidime and ceftriaxone. All isolates were sensitive to amikacin for aminoglycosides. As for macrolides, erythromycin had excellent activity (100%) against Gram-positive cocci. Indeed, some isolates were susceptible and others resistant to ciprofloxacin for quinolones. Conclusion: Bacteriological profile and antimicrobial susceptibility knowledge of cervicofacial cellulitis may propose an effective probabilistic antibiotic therapy protocol.
