Pre-suppurative phase of retropharyngeal infection can't be differentiated from retropharyngeal abscess clinically or radiographically. Ultrasound, however, can diagnose this common infection in early phase. Early antibacterial treatment prevents the suppurative phase, obviates surgery and shortens the hospitalization phase.
咽后感染的化脓前期在临床或影像学上无法与咽后脓肿相鉴别。然而,超声能够在早期诊断这种常见感染。早期抗菌治疗可预防化脓期,避免手术并缩短住院时间。
