[Severe bacterial soft tissue infections in the head and neck region : Overview of the causes, pathogenesis, diagnostics, treatment and possible sequelae].

CONCLUSION: Severe bacterial soft tissue infections can be still life-threatening despite guideline-conform treatment and are associated with a high mortality especially in high-risk patients even with intensive medical care. They can lead to disfiguration and loss of function resulting in a greatly reduced quality of life. Rapid diagnostics and therapy are essential for successful treatment.
