| Abstract;In this study, we report 3 patients with deep cervical abscess who had a 2-year history of collagen disease as an underlying disorder, along with a review of the literature. The primary focus of the abscess was in the submandibular gland. These patients had been receiving adrenal cortical hormones for a long period to treat their collagen disease. The average time of hospitalization is about 3 weeks in patients with deep cervical abscess without complications. However, although in our patients, the only 2, so give exact times hospitalization was 6 weeks. This extended time may have been due to long term adrenal cortical hormones treatment related effects such as reduction in immunity, and protraction of their symptoms related to an increase in pain thresholds. However, although collagen disease may be a factor in protracted deep cervical abscess, it does not necessarily contribute to a poor prognosis. (author abst.) |
