A survey of eighty-one patients with cervicofacial abscesses of unknown origin is presented. The salient clinical features and the treatment of the abscesses are described. Mainly affected were children under 4 years of age, and the submandibular and submental regions were the most common sites of involvement. Staphylococcus aureus was the predominant pathogenic organism, and epidemic strains were implicated in some cases. A high incidence of resistance to penicillin was noted. The nasal vestibule is postulated to be reservoir of the organisms, and the possible relationship between infection, malnutrition, and a mild degree of anemia is examined.
本文介绍了对81例病因不明的颈面部脓肿患者的调查情况。描述了这些脓肿的显著临床特征及治疗方法。主要受影响的是4岁以下儿童，颌下和颏下区域是最常受累的部位。金黄色葡萄球菌是主要的致病微生物，在某些病例中涉及流行菌株。注意到对青霉素耐药的发生率很高。推测鼻前庭是这些微生物的储存库，并研究了感染、营养不良和轻度贫血之间可能的关系。
