This is a retrospective review of 113 hospitalized children with maxillofacial infections. The upper face (orbits, paranasal sinuses, maxillary teeth, and cheeks) was affected most frequently in younger children (mean age = 4.03 years), and the source of infection was often unknown. The patients were treated empirically with a second-generation cephalosporin. Lower-face infections (mandibular teeth, submental, sublingual, and submandibular structures) occurred more frequently in older children (mean age = 5.56 years) and were likely to be of odontogenic origin. Empiric therapy in lower face infections usually consisted of penicillin.
这是一项对113名住院的颌面部感染儿童的回顾性研究。幼儿（平均年龄 = 4.03岁）中，上颌面部（眼眶、鼻窦、上颌牙齿和脸颊）受影响最为频繁，且感染源通常不明。这些患者接受了第二代头孢菌素的经验性治疗。大龄儿童（平均年龄 = 5.56岁）中，下颌面部感染（下颌牙齿、颏下、舌下和下颌下结构）更为常见，且可能源于牙源性感染。下颌面部感染的经验性治疗通常使用青霉素。
