Gulhadiye Avcu et al. J Trop Pediatr. 2015 Jun.

Abstract

Acute suppurative parotitis is a rare disease in childhood. Its incidence is higher in premature newborns. Parotid swelling and pus drainage from Stenson's duct is pathognomonic, and Staphylococcus aureus is the causative agent in most cases. Here, a 33-day-old patient with acute suppurative parotitis is presented.

Keywords: Staphylococcus aureus; infant; suppurative parotitis.
