[Nonspecific lymphadenitis and adenophlegmon of the maxillofacial area and neck in children].

The study into the causes underlying nonspecific lymphadenitis (NSL) and adenophlegmons of the maxillofacial region and the neck (AF) revealed a great variety of etiological factors and primary infectious foci in these diseases. Of 204 children admitted to hospital of the city of Derbent, odontogenic genesis of the disease was determined in 27.45% of cases; dermatogenic, stomatogenic in 23.04 and 12.74% of cases, respectively. ENT and systemic diseases were responsible for NSL and AF in 13.23 and 3.43% of cases. The cause remained unclear in 20.09% of patients. NSL and AF occurred most frequently in the coldest (January, February) and the hottest (July, August) months of the year.
