Abstract: Objective To explore the clinical features and treatment of multiple oral, maxillofacial, and neck infections. Method The clinical data of 63 patients with multiple oral, maxillofacial, and neck infections admitted to our department between December 2013 and August 2018 were summarized and analyzed. Result The average age of the 35 males was(52.03±16.97)years and that of the 28 females was(45.67±19.18)years. There were two or more interstitial infections. Among the 63 cases, 16 were complicated with diabetes and 6 were treated with tracheotomy. Seventeen were treated for cellulitis; all of them were cured and discharged. Forty-six patients showed the formation of abscess, and they were treated with puncture and abscess incision and drainage; 43 were cured and discharged, 2 improved, and 1 left without being discharged. Conclusion Multiple oral, maxillofacial, and neck interstitial infections should be treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics as soon as possible to keep the respiratory tract unobstructed. If necessary, tracheotomy should be performed. After abscess formation, early incision and drainage should be performed. Diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and other accompanying diseases should also be treated.
