Background and Objectives Abscess of neck is a life-threatening disease in children. Detection of abscess is important because it is essential for the determination of surgical drainage. However, clinical diagnosis is difficult, because children are seldom able to verbalize their symptoms or cooperate with physical examination. This study aims to review the clinical characteristics of 157 pediatric patients with neck inflammation and investigate the relative risk factors for abscess. Subjects and Method Pediatric patients who were admitted to Dongguk University Hospital from January 2005 to July 2014 with acute neck inflammation were reviewed. All 157 pediatric patients were divided into two groups, based on radiologic findings with and without neck abscess. Results Of 157 patients, 53 children were diagnosed with neck abscess, and peritonsillar abscess was the most common type of neck abscess followed by submandibular abscess, retro·parapharyngeal abscess and posterior triangle & other abscess. The dominant pathogens, staphylococcal infection (≤2 yr) and streptococcal infection (>3 yr), was different for the different age group. The abscess group except for peritonsillar abscess was characterized by younger age, higher heart rate and WBC count, and longer hospital days than those without abscess (p=0.026, 0.026, <0.001, 0.007 respectively). Multivariate analysis revealed younger age (≤24 mo) and higher heart rate were independent predictors for abscess formation (odds ratio: 3.022, 2.923). Conclusion Pediatric patients with high heart rate & younger age are at risk for abscess formation; meticulous care and early imaging work up are required in younger children with deep neck infection, and especially with higher heart rate.
