FEATURES OF METHODS OF TREATMENT OF MAXILLOFACIAL PHLEGMON IN PATIENTS WITH DIABETES MELLITUS

The frequent development of abscesses and phlegmon in the head and neck area is due to the high prevalence of chronic focal odontogenic, tonsillogenic infections, as well as infectious and inflammatory lesions of the skin and oral mucosa. The most common form of septic inflammation is odontogenic purulent-inflammatory diseases. In recent decades, interest in acute infections of the face and neck has increased due to the growing number of patients with these diseases and the number of severe intracranial and extracranial complications. Unfortunately, the problem of odontogenic infection still remains relevant. The reason for this course of the disease is considered by most authors to be a decrease in immunological reactivity, a perversion of the immune response against the background of preliminary sensitization of the body from the focus of chronic infection.
