  • Title: Mortality associated with odontogenic infection!
    Author: Green AW, Flower EA, New NE.
    Journal: Br Dent J; 2001 May 26; 190(10):529-30. PubMed ID: 11411886.
    Abstract:
    Odontogenic causes are the most common source for spreading maxillo-facial infections. These infections can develop into life threatening events. However a fatal outcome is fortunately rare and is generally associated with an immunocompromised status. This case report highlights a spreading maxillo-facial infection, which resulted in massive haemorrhage from the subclavian vein into the pleural cavity and subsequent death of a young fit male patient.
