Article Synopsis
- Pediatric ENT surgeons in the UK noticed an unusual increase in severe head and neck abscesses during the winter of 2022/3, prompting a study to validate this trend and explore associated factors.
- A multicentre study collected data from 262 patients admitted with head and neck abscesses between September 2022 and February 2023, revealing a significant rise in group A streptococcus cases and complications like venous thrombosis during the winter months.
- Despite the observed increases in certain complications, the overall number of abscess cases fell within expected historical ranges, indicating that the winter 2022/2023 rates were consistent with pre-COVID trends in pediatric cases.
