In this study, we aimed to determine the demographic pattern, common anatomical sites, risk factors, and the microbial profile of abscesses in different body sites among children.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n We conducted a prospective study in our pediatric surgical department among children with abscesses in different body sites between January 2019 and December 2022.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n During the study period, 85 children were included. The participant age range was 0 to 14 years old, and 66% of participants were boys. The most common anatomical sites where abscesses formed were the pelvis (n\u2009=\u200929, 34%), abdomen (n\u2009=\u200922, 26%), neck (n\u2009=\u200914, 16%), and extremities (n\u2009=\u200912, 14%). Risk factors of abscesses in different body sites included cannulation, lymphadenitis, mastitis, perforated appendix, and perianal fistula. We observed that 74% of abscesses were of a polymicrobial nature.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n The most common anatomical sites for abscesses in children included the pelvis, abdomen, neck, and extremities. Most abscesses in these sites were polymicrobial in nature.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/03000605241281678","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,3]],"date-time":"2024-10-03T04:51:48Z","timestamp":1727931108000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Abscesses in different body sites among children: a single-center prospective study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"52","author":[{"given":"Omar Abdulqader","family":"Ajaj","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Surgery, University of Anbar, College of Medicine, Anbar, Iraq"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6155-7302","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hashim Talib","family":"Hashim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Research, University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa, College of Medicine, Karbala, Iraq"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zainab Ali","family":"Hussein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiological Techniques Department, College of Health and Medical Techniques, Al-Mustaqbal University, Babylon, Iraq"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-03000605241281678","volume":"14","author":"Gupta S","year":"2023","journal-title":"Asian Journal of Medical Sciences"},{"key":"bibr2-03000605241281678","first-page":"1","volume":"1","author":"Sharma R","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Appl Microbiol Biochem"},{"key":"bibr3-03000605241281678","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jac\/dkg009"},{"key":"bibr4-03000605241281678","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-147-8-200710160-00010"},{"key":"bibr5-03000605241281678","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3468(98)90081-1"},{"key":"bibr6-03000605241281678","first-page":"583139","volume":"2011","author":"Lakshmi V","year":"2011","journal-title":"Patholog Res Int"},{"key":"bibr7-03000605241281678","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jinf.2005.12.002"},{"key":"bibr8-03000605241281678","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/IDR.S332348"},{"key":"bibr9-03000605241281678","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/516799"},{"key":"bibr10-03000605241281678","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ofid\/ofy025"},{"key":"bibr11-03000605241281678","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijid.2008.08.024"}],"container-title":["Journal of International Medical Research"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/03000605241281678","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/03000605241281678","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/03000605241281678","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T10:48:59Z","timestamp":1777459739000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/03000605241281678"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,10]]},"references-count":11,"journal-issue":{"issue":"10","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024,10]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/03000605241281678"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/03000605241281678","relation":{},"ISSN":["0300-0605","1473-2300"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0300-0605","type":"print"},{"value":"1473-2300","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,10]]},"article-number":"03000605241281678"}}
