Abstract

Deep neck infection (DNI) is a condition that usually resolves with medical
treatment, but may also require surgical treatment. If not
treated properly, it may progress with serious complications. Streptococcus anginosus is an important
pathogen causing abscesses, but its role in deep neck abscesses has not been adequately investigated. In this report, we present a patient who was diagnosed
with S. anginosus-caused DNI in our
clinic and discharged after full recovery with appropriate treatment.

Derin Boyun Enfeksiyonunda Nadir Bir Bakteri: Streptococcus Anginosus

Abstract

Derin
boyun enfeksiyonu (DBE) çoğunlukla medikal tedavi ile geçen, ancak cerrahi tedavi
de gerektirebilen bir hastalıktır. Uygun
şekilde tedavi edilmediği takdirde ciddi komplikasyonlarla seyredebilir.
Streptococcus anginosus apseye yol
açan önemli bir patojendir; ancak derin boyun apselerindeki rolü çok az araştırılmıştır.
Bu çalışmada, kliniğimizde Streptococcus anginosus
etkenli DBE tanısı alan ve uygun tedavi sonrasında iyileşerek taburcu edilen bir
hasta sunulmuştur.
