Suppurative parotitis is rare in newborns. This case report details a 12-day-old infant with bilateral parotid swelling, fever, and poor feeding, requiring surgical drainage for an abscess despite antibiotics.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Pediatric Infectious Diseases
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Suppuration in parotid glands is infrequently observed in neonates.
  • Neonatal parotitis can present with non-specific symptoms like fever and irritability.
  • Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for managing neonatal infections.

Observation:

  • A 12-day-old male neonate presented with high-grade fever, irritability, and poor feeding.
  • Bilateral parotid region swelling was noted.
  • Clinical presentation and workup confirmed bilateral suppurative parotitis.

Findings:

  • The neonate developed bilateral suppurative parotitis.
  • An abscess formed in the parotid glands despite initial antibiotic treatment.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Surgical drainage of the abscess was necessary for recovery.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering suppurative parotitis in febrile neonates with parotid swelling.
    • Prompt surgical intervention may be required even with antibiotic therapy.
    • Understanding rare neonatal infections aids in timely and effective management strategies.
