Suppurative cervical lymphadenitis sometimes resolves with oral antibiotic treatment; however, many children are hospitalized for intravenous treatment due to lack of improvement. When there is no substantial improvement, the possibility of a liquefaction process is considered, and as a result, source control such as needle aspiration or open surgical drainage is recommended. We examined, among pediatric patients hospitalized with suppurative cervical lymphadenitis, clinical and laboratory predictors for invasive intervention that may lead to early imaging and intervention, hasten recovery, and shorten length of hospitalization. We compared laboratory and clinical characteristics of pediatric patients hospitalized with suppurative cervical lymphadenitis during 2010-2017, according to 3 treatments: needle aspiration (N = 54), open surgical drainage (N = 37), and conservative adequate antibiotic treatment only (N = 292). Physical indicators such as local erythema and fluctuation were found as predictors for invasive interventions in hospitalized pediatric patients diagnosed with suppurative cervical lymphadenitis. No significant associations were found between invasive interventions and laboratory parameters assessed in this study. Children who underwent interventions displayed a prolonged average length of hospitalization and received extended antibiotic treatment prior to hospital admission. In hospitalized pediatric patients diagnosed with suppurative cervical lymphadenitis, physical examination findings are the main predictive factors for invasive interventions. Consequently, when such straightforward clinical findings are observed in the context of insufficient improvement during antibiotic treatment, they should prompt consideration of invasive intervention.
