| Summary: | Conclusion: Cervical lymphadenitis was prevalently accompanied by URI. Swelling and erythema in the neck were the most common clinical manifestations. The most common isolated organism was Staphylococcus aureus. We did not find Streptococci, which might be due to the beta-lactam usage before hospital admission. Most of the patients were treated with clindamycin during hospitalization. However, resistance to clindamycin was higher than that of other antibiotics effective against Staphylococci and Streptococci, like oxacillin. We recommend considering this resistance pattern in choosing antibiotics to prevent treatment failure and reduce the need for surgery. |
