Predictive factors for drainage in pediatric cervical lymphadenitis: A study of clinical indicators and recovery outcomes.

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictive factors for drainage in patients hospitalized with cervical lymphadenitis in the Pediatrics Infectious Diseases Department and to differentiate the recovery time between patients who received antibiotic treatment only and those who received drainage for their lymphadenitis.
