STOMATITIS 95 



pharyngeal lymph glands become acutely enlarged and 

 abscess formation in them often results. 



Course. — Primary cases usually heal after the abscess is 

 evacuated. In exceptional cases the larynx, trachea or even 

 the bronchi rtlay become involved leading to death. In 

 secondary cases the course is contingent upon the disease 

 which the phlegmonous stomatitis accompanies. 



Treatment. — ^The treatment is the same as for other forms 

 of stomatitis the only exception being that abscesses in the 

 neighboring lymph glands should be opened and drained.
