Disease relevance of Ludwig's Angina

There were eight 'other' complications suffered by 11 patients: necrotising fasciitis (n=l), herpes zoster (n=l), Ludwig's angina (n=l), infections of the submandibular (n=l), parapharyngeal (n=2), masticator (n=2) and submasseteric spaces (n =2), and reaction to local anaesthesia (2ml of 2 per cent lignocaine hydrochloride) (n=1) [1].

High impact information on Ludwig's Angina

Treatment was discontinued in one loracarbef-treated patient because Ludwig's angina, unrelated to the study drug, was diagnosed and in five amoxicillin/clavulanate-treated patients because of diarrhea (two patients), rash (two patients), and nausea and vomiting (one patient) [2].
Fatal paraphenylenediamine (hair dye) intoxication in a child resembling Ludwig's angina [3].
We report a case of awake, fiberoptic tracheal intubation of a difficult airway (Ludwig's angina) using remifentanil as part of the sedation-analgesia regimen [4].
