[Septicemia of dental origin and post-extraction coma. Apropos of 3 cases].
The authors report 3 cases of septicaemia and coma post dental extraction. These 3 patients had dental extraction in the same confessional dental clinic. After these acts the situation were so severe and they came to central hospital in Yaounde. Infections from dental origin proven by blood culture necessitate an early antibiotherapy and treatment, which propriate and sustain, but adapted to the antibiogram. The streptococcus of group F and Klebsiella pneumonia were challenged. One of the cases was negative. The presence of common signs (fever, tachycardia, chill) need the search for a secondary localisation which can be determine by X-ray.
