title: [Increase of phlegmonous forms of infection following angina].
abstract: A sudden mini-epidemic of severe septic cervical soft tissue phlegmons following pharyngitis with thrombophlebitis of the jugular veins, mediastinitis and meningeal irritation posed problems of diagnosis and therapy because the typical symptoms were masked by the preceding treatment with antibiotics. The disease could only be partially controlled by intensive care. Three illustrative cases are reported.
