Research Excerpts

Overview

ExcerptReference
"Ludwig's angina is an uncommon but potentially fatal condition which presents as a hard swelling of the floor of the mouth."( Freund, B; Timon, C, 1992)
"Ludwig's angina is a rapidly spreading and potentially lethal infection involving the floor of the mouth and neck."( Chen, CH; Ho, MP; Lu, CL; Tsai, KC; Yen, SL, 2006)
"Ludwig's angina is a rapidly progressive cellulitis of the submandibular space and has the potential for significant upper airway obstruction."( Lin, HW; O'Neill, A; Rahbar, R; Skinner, ML, 2009)
