Different Cultures

Eikenella corrodens is one of the HACEK bacteria that is commensal microorganism of the oropharngeal flora. E. corrodens has been increasingly reported to cause pyogenic abscesses, especially in diabetic or immunocompromised adults. It is less frequently reported in immunocompotent children. Here, we report a deep neck infection, including the thyroid gland, in a previously healthy girl. E. corrodens was the only microorganism isolated in two different cultures. Antibiotic susceptibility is variable, in contrast to other oropharyngeal pathogens. Thus, to avoid delayed treatment, E. corrodens should always be considered in infections of the head and neck area.

Unusual Type

Primary thyroid abscess arising from acute suppurative thyroiditis is an unusual type of head and neck infection. Only 39 cases of thyroid abscess have been reported in the medical literature since 1950. Sixteen of these cases (41%) were in children. This presentation reports in detail two additional adult patients with thyroid abscesses. In addition, the incidence, etiology, signs and symptoms, complications, aids to diagnosis, and management are reviewed. Systemic antimicrobials combined with prompt surgical intervention will prevent the serious complications possible with this disease.

Deep neck infection (DNI) is an infection in the fascial spaces of the neck. Complications of DNI, including mediastinitis, internal jugular vein thrombosis, and upper airway obstruction, are severe and potentially life threatening. Therefore, early identification and accurate management of DNI are essential. We review the anatomy of the deep spaces of the neck to determine the route of DNI spread so that emergency doctors, physicians, and otorhinolaryngologists can quickly recognize the development of lethal complications of DNI, such as asphyxia from airway obstruction.
