Abstract

Abstract Abscess in the thyroid gland is a rare but severe infectious disease in children.

Treatment requires endovenous antibiotics and usually children undergo surgery for drainage and eventual reparations of associated malformations. Pathogens vary considerably depending on the main predisposing thyroid illnesses.
