The study of clinical features of nonclostridial anaerobic infection in 80 patients with purulent and inflammatory pathologies of ENT-organs (purulent sinusitis, purulent otitis media, paratonsillar abscesses) showed them to be as follows: prolonged, slow and often subclinical development of the disease; disseminated necrotic changes of tissues; disagreement between the level of clinical symptoms and destructive changes (prevalence of destructive changes over clinical symptoms); phenomenon of false anesthesia; existence of crumbs-like pus with a strong bad smell sometimes filled with air bubbles; limited bleeding from cut tissues.
