Abstract
A decline in cell-mediated or adaptive immunity, which makes older adults prone to pneumonia and urinary tract, skin, and soft tissue infections, characterizes immunosenescence. A review of the available reports on deep neck infection (DNI) (1994–2004) has confirmed that, if life-threatening complications occur, mortality ranged from 7.1% to 41.7%. DNIs in older adults have rarely been investigated.
