Abstract:
Suppurative parotidis is an uncommon disease in newborns, with limited information available on its pathogenesis and management: approximately 50 cases have been reported in the literature. Diagnosis is based on clinical signs. The predominant organism is Staphylococcus aureus. The administration of empiric antimicrobial therapy is an essential part of the management in very young patients. Prognosis is good and recurrence of the disease is unusual. We describe a 21-day-old newborn who presented with fever and unilateral swelling of the parotid region, and provide a literature review.
