Case Report

A 6-year-old boy (SLCH-88133) from the city of St. Louis was admitted to St. Louis Children's Hospital on January 12, 1972, because of preauricular and cervical lymphadenopathy. Two months prior to admission he developed epiphora, erythema, and edema of his right eye. Within two days, lethargy, fever (104 F) and painful swelling of the entire right side of his face and neck were noted.
