ABSTRACT
We report a 47 year-old diabetic male, admitted due to metabolic decompensation, malaise, purulent pharyngeal discharge and a mass in the posterior cervical region. Blood glucose was 270 mg/dl, a nasopharyngoscopy showed a pharyngeal phlegmon and CT scan confirmed the presence of a phlegmon in the retropharyngeal region. He was treated with sodium penicillin, cloxacillin and ceftriazone and the phlegmon was drained surgically. The culture of the purulent discharge gave growth to a Group B Streptococcus. The evolution was favorable and the patient completed seven days with intravenous antimicrobials and additional seven days with oral ampicillin/sulbactam.
