One hundred eighty\u2010five patients were included in our study. Fifty\u2010six patients with diabetes mellitus were enrolled for further analysis (diabetic group) and compared with the other 129 patients without diabetes mellitus (nondiabetic group) in demography, etiology, bacteriology, treatment, duration of hospital stay, complications, and outcome.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>The parapharyngeal space was the space most commonly involved in both the diabetic (33.9%) and nondiabetic groups (40.3%). Odontogenic infections and upper airway infections were the 2 leading causes of deep neck infection in diabetic and nondiabetic groups. <jats:italic>Streptococcus viridans<\/jats:italic> is the most commonly isolated organism in the nondiabetic group (43.7%). However, the most common organism in the diabetic group was <jats:italic>Klebsiella pneumoniae<\/jats:italic> (56.1%). There were 89.3% of diabetic patients, versus 71.3% of nondiabetic patients, with abscess formation (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.0136). Surgical drainage was performed more frequently in the diabetic group than in the nondiabetic group (86.0% versus 65.2%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.0142). In comparison with the nondiabetic group, the diabetic group tended to have older mean age (57.2\u00a0y versus 46.2\u00a0y, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.0007), longer duration of hospital stay (19.7\u00a0days versus 10.2\u00a0days, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &gt;0.0001), more frequent complications (33.9% versus 8.5%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &gt;0.0001), and more frequent tracheostomy or intubation (19.6% versus 6.2%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.0123).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patients with diabetes mellitus are susceptible to deep neck infection. We should pay more attention when dealing with deep neck infections in patients with diabetes mellitus because those patients tend to have complications more frequently and a longer duration of hospital stay. Empirical antibiotics should cover <jats:italic>K. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic> in patients with deep neck infection who have diabetes mellitus.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otohns.2005.01.035","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,6,10]],"date-time":"2005-06-10T11:47:16Z","timestamp":1118404036000},"page":"943-947","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":117,"title":["Deep neck infection in diabetic patients: Comparison of clinical picture and outcomes with nondiabetic patients"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"132","author":[{"given":"Tung\u2010Tsun","family":"Huang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology Buddhist Tzu Chi General Hospital Hualien Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fen\u2010Yu","family":"Tseng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine National Taiwan University Hospital Taipei Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tien\u2010Chen","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology National Taiwan University Hospital Taipei Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chuan\u2010Jen","family":"Hsu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology National Taiwan University Hospital Taipei Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuh\u2010Shyang","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology National Taiwan University Hospital Taipei Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1288\/00005537-198403000-00012"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1288\/00005537-198107000-00010"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","first-page":"141","article-title":"Predisposing factors of life\u2010threatening deep neck infection: logistic regression analysis of 214 cases","volume":"27","author":"Chen MK","year":"1998","journal-title":"J Otolaryngol"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000348940111001111"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0196-0709(00)85019-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0168-8227(00)00172-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2337\/diacare.8.3.244"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1096-9136(199701)14:1<29::AID-DIA300>3.0.CO;2-V"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2337\/diab.23.8.708"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2337\/diab.39.3.271"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199912163412507"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","first-page":"227","article-title":"Deep\u2010neck space abscesses","volume":"25","author":"El\u2010Sayed Y","year":"1996","journal-title":"J Otolaryngol"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","first-page":"123","article-title":"Deep facial infections of odontogenic origin: CT assessment of pathways of space involvement","volume":"19","author":"Yonetsu K","year":"1998","journal-title":"AJNR Am J Neuroradiol"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0030-4220(94)90221-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_1","first-page":"220","article-title":"Review of hepatic abscess from Klebsiella pneumoniae.
