Anna Bruckova

I am a specialist in Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) at Karolinska University Hospital and a PhD student at Karolinska Institutet.

My clinical work focuses on the surgical treatment of benign head and neck conditions, particularly salivary gland disorders.

My research focuses on infectious diseases in otorhinolaryngology, particularly epidemiology, clinical outcomes and antimicrobial resistance.

My research focuses on infectious diseases in otorhinolaryngology, with particular emphasis on epidemiology, clinical course, risk factors and antimicrobial resistance.

A central part of my research concerns acute supraglottitis, where I investigate clinical and endoscopic findings, as well as other factors that may help identify patients at increased risk of severe upper airway obstruction. The aim is to improve risk assessment and support clinical decision-making regarding monitoring and treatment.

My PhD project also includes studies on peritonsillar abscesses, including antimicrobial resistance, recurrence and potential associations with the subsequent development of head and neck cancer, as well as research on HPV infections in the oral cavity and oropharynx.

I have experience in teaching and supervising medical and dental students in Otorhinolaryngology (ENT).

I have served as a teaching assistant for ninth-semester medical students and dental students during their ENT course. I am also involved in clinical supervision of medical students and ENT residents.
