[Lymphadenitis colli in the child from the veiwpoint of the dentist and oral surgeon].
In the light of the relevant literature and personal cases, the author deals with swellings of the cervical lymph nodes which occur most frequently in childhood. Simultaneously, he pays attention to their differentiation from odontogenic inflammatory processes in the mandibular region, which is of importance from the viewpoint of stomatology. Of 402 soft-tissue inflammations in children 0 to 14 years of age, 211 (=52.5%) were odontogenic, whereas 191 were not. There were 173 cases of cervical lymphadenitis. The aetiology, genesis, clinical picture and distribution of this disease are treated in detail as well as clinical und paraclinical symptoms which permit to differentiate them from odontogenic pyogenic infections.
