Parotid swelling in a premature neonate

Jennifer Chevalier et al. Am J Perinatol. 2002 Nov.

Abstract

Suppurative parotitis in neonates is very rare. We report a case of unilateral suppurative parotitis in a 29-week gestation age infant, who recovered completely following medical treatment. Diagnosis was by clinical examination and microbiology, and parotid involvement confirmed by computed tomographic (CT) scan. The causative organism was coagulase negative Staphylococcus epidermidis.
