Abstract

Aplastic anemia often causes a life-threatening infection. We report a case of deep neck infection in a 30-year-old man with aplastic anemia treated with intensive antibiotics after admission, who rapidly recovered without surgery. The infection was caused by dental caries with an immunocompromised host via hemodyscrasia. He remains free from inflammation recurrence 5 months after treatment. We discuss the importance of early, appropriate treatment of deep neck infection associated with aplastic anemia occurring in immunocompromised patients.
