Ludwig's Angina

Ludwig's angina is a bacterial infection on the floor of the mouth. It is a serious and potentionally life-threatening cellulitis. Alternative names for the condition are, submandibular or sublingual space infection. To check for sublingual space infection push hard in the middle of the tongue, it will feel firm vs. the more spongey give of a normal tongue.

Wilhelm Friedrich von Ludwig first described this condition in 1836. His first patient presenting with this condition was Queen Catherine of Wurttemberg.

Angina is from anchone, the Greek word for strangulation, and was taken to connote throat pain and infection. Until the advent of antibiotics Ludwig's angina was almost always fatal.
