Ludwig's angina may cause death by which condition?

Asphyxia
Septicemia
Heart Failure
Stroke

The correct answer is: Asphyxia

Ludwig's angina refers to a serious infection that occurs in the neck and floor of the mouth. This infection can cause swelling and blockage of the airway, leading to difficulty breathing and potentially causing death by asphyxia. Septicemia, heart failure, and stroke may also result from Ludwig's angina, but they are not directly caused by the infection and may not be the leading cause of death in these cases.
