THE AETIOLOGY OF ACUTE CERVICAL ADENITIS IN CHILDREN: SEROLOGICAL AND BACTERIOLOGICAL STUDIES Yamauchi, T. and Ferrieri, Patricia and Anthony, B. F.,, 13, 37-43 (1980), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/00222615-13-1-37, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 0022-2615, abstract= SUMMARY Acute cervical adenitis was investigated in 26 children over a 33-month period. Lymph nodes were aspirated and cultured to yield Staphylococcusaureus or group-A streptococci or both from 22 (84.6%) of the aspirates. Mycobacterium kansasii was isolated from one child. By combined culture and serial serological tests (antistreptolysin-0, antiDNAase B, and anti-NADase), 50% of the cases were found to be associated with streptococcal infection. In a few children, S. aureus was the only organism recovered, and appeared to be the aetiological agent., language=, type=
