    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Neonatology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Neonatal mastitis is a rare but significant concern in newborns.
    • Understanding its incidence, etiology, and treatment is crucial for pediatric care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze cases of neonatal mastitis at Children's Hospital, Boston.
    • To review the medical literature on neonatal mastitis since 1950.
    • To identify trends in incidence, causative agents, and treatment outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 41 neonatal mastitis cases from 1947 onwards.
    • Comprehensive literature review of studies published since 1950.
    • Comparison of case series data with existing literature.

    Main Results:

    • All cases occurred in full-term infants (1-5 weeks old), with a 2:1 female-to-male ratio.
    • Staphylococcus aureus was the predominant pathogen; gram-negative bacilli were absent.
    • Systemic spread and bilateral involvement were rare.
    • Early intravenous antibiotic therapy has reduced the need for surgical intervention.

    Conclusions:

    • Neonatal mastitis is consistently seen in full-term infants, with Staphylococcus aureus as the primary pathogen.
    • Current therapeutic strategies, including early antibiotic administration, are effective.
    • The prognosis for neonatal mastitis is excellent with appropriate management.
