Otolaryngology Research: Gram-positive Bacterial Infection of the Head and Neck Region

Chee Yong

The goal of the study was to better understand head and neck infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria utilising computer tomography (CT) based on mathematical models (electronic health). For the research, a total of 180 clinical patients with head and neck space infections were gathered. The use of a CT/MRI scan was chosen to diagnose the condition. The development of a mathematical model for use in CT imaging followed. By condensing the information, including background knowledge, bacterial culture, source and degree of infection, severe consequences, and other aspects, the cause and treatment effect were examined. The findings demonstrated that the mathematical modelbased CT/MRI imaging can accurately identify the disease and track its progression. Patients with head and neck infections were more likely to be men than women, and older patients were more prevalent than younger patients. 42 patients overall or 23.3% of all patients experienced significant problems. Following respiratory obstruction, pneumonia, pericarditis, orbital infection, and multiple organ failure in terms of frequency was descending mediastinitis. The head and neck region was full of infection-causing agents. Dental infection was the primary contributor, accounting for 137 cases (76.1% of the total) and being the main cause. Odontogenic infections among them included periodontal disease, wisdom tooth pericoronitis, and tooth apical periodontitis. Iatrogenic infections, traumatic foreign bodies, and glandular infections were among additional sources of infection. The submandibular region, together with the masseter space, cheek space, and sublingual space, was the area of the head and neck most frequently affected by illness. Inferior mediastinitis and respiratory obstruction were the two most serious side effects of head and neck infection. Streptococcus viridans, Staphylococcus aureus, and Klebsiella pneumonia were the predominant pathogens grown. In laboratory tests, individuals with serious sequelae had considerably greater WBC and hs-CRP values than patients with a common head and neck infection. The most often prescribed antibiotics in the clinical management of patients with severe problems were Imipenem and ornidazole. To sum up, head and neck space infection is a dangerous infectious condition that may be life-threatening and calls for prompt and efficient medical care.
