Clinical Trial: Microbiology of Para- og Retropharyngeal Abscess
Study Status: Recruiting
Recruit Status: Recruiting
Study Type: Observational
Official Title: Mikrobiologi Ved Para- og Retropharyngeal Absces
Brief Summary:
The aims of the study are:
- Explore the bacteriology of para- and retropharyngeal abscess.
- Validate the bacterial findings by exploring antibody development against F. necrophorum, F. nucleatum and S. pyogenes.
- Compare bacteriologic findings in concomitant peritonsillar and parapharyngeal abscesses.
- Characterize patients with para- and retropharyngeal abscess.
- Compare the concentration of amylase in para- and retropharyngeal abscesses and neck abscesses without relation to the pharynx or salivary glands.
- Perform gene-sequencing of F. Necrophorum strains, and compare these with strains recovered from patients with acute tonsillitis, peritonsillar abscess, and Lemierre´s syndrome.
