Background:
Submandibular salivary gland infections are uncommon. For this reason, neonatal acute suppurative submandibular sialadenitis non-coincident with parotitis is considered as a rare entity. The aim of this work was to verify if there have been changes in the clinical and microbiological aspects of this infection from its first descriptions.
Methods:
A review of the international literature from different sources was performed from the earliest reports until April, 2016, in order to collect all the cases reported with this infection up to the present date.
Results:
We found 39 neonate patients reported in 30 articles for this review. Most articles came from the United States of America and Europe, whereas in Latin America there was only one case declared in Cuba. Some of the clinical aspects of the presentation and evolution of this infection in the reported patients are described.
Conclusions:
Neonatal acute suppurative submandibular sialadenitis is an uncommon infection that presents similar clinical features through the years. As microbiological feature, this infection is usually caused by Staphylococcus aureus, although some methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus have been implicated during the last 16 years. In general, it presents a satisfactory evolution with an early and appropriate antibiotic treatment.
