Cervical acute lymphadenitis is rarely described in neonates. We present the case of a 12-day-old preterm, fed by nasogastric tube, who presented a tender erythematous submandibular swelling. Laboratory data showed neutrophilia and an elevation of C reactive protein and procalcitonin. Ultrasound findings suggested cellulitis and adenitis with abscess. The culture of the drainage material identified methicillin-sensitive With the administration of the right antibiotic treatment, a good clinical outcome was observed.
新生儿急性颈淋巴结炎鲜有报道。我们报告一例12日龄的早产儿，经鼻胃管喂养，出现下颌下压痛性红斑肿胀。实验室检查显示中性粒细胞增多、C反应蛋白和降钙素原升高。超声检查结果提示蜂窝织炎和伴有脓肿的淋巴结炎。引流物培养鉴定为对甲氧西林敏感。经给予恰当的抗生素治疗后，观察到良好的临床结果。
