It commonly begins between 2 and 6 years of age and is often undiagnosed, unnoticed or mistaken for the mumps or otitis pharyngitis .

Background Juvenile recurrent parotitis (JRP) is the second‐most common childhood disease of the salivary glands after mumps. Since popularisation of mumps vaccination, children suffered from JRP more often, and the aetiology remains unclear. Chinese children had the habit of soft foods due to the special dietary habit of Asia. Objectives To clarify whether mastication was related to the pathogenesis of JRP and whether the growth of salivary glands was influenced by soft diet. Methods Investigation of dietary habit and masticatory efficiency from 2015 to 2018 of children diagnosed with JRP compared with the normal children by the dentition. Mice had been fed a soft diet beginning in their development phase. The gland weight, amount of saliva, salivary amylase, histological and ultrastructural observation and the expression levels of EGF, FGFr2 and Wnt3a had been tested. Results The JRP children preferred soft foods and had a significantly lower masticatory efficiency than do normal children. When normalised by body weight, the gland weight, amount of saliva and amount of salivary amylase in the experimental group were significantly lower. The ultrastructural results showed that the acinar cells in the experimental groups were smaller and contained fewer electron‐dense secretory granules than those in the control groups. The expression levels of EGF, FGFr2 and Wnt3a in the salivary glands of mice in the experimental groups were significantly lower than those of mice in the control groups. Conclusion The soft diet indeed influenced the salivary gland through insufficient mastication, which could be one of the primary factors inducing JRP.

“…Juvenile recurrent parotitis (JRP) is defined as recurrent inflammatory parotitis in children of unknown etiology. 1 It is described as recurrent parotid inflammation, usually associated with non-obstructive sialectasis of peripheral ducts of the parotids with periductal lymphocytic infiltration of the parotid gland. It is characterized by multiple episodes of parotid swelling and/or pain associated with fever or malaise over a period of years.…”

Juvenile recurrent parotitis (JRP) is defined as recurrent inflammatory parotitis in children of unknown etiology. It is described as recurrent parotid inflammation, usually associated with non-obstructive sialectasis of peripheral ducts of the parotids with periductal lymphocytic infiltration of the parotid gland. It is characterized by multiple episodes of parotid swelling and/or pain associated with fever or malaise over a period of years. Symptoms resolve spontaneously after puberty. All children with recurrent parotitis should be screened to exclude Sjögren's syndrome, lymphoma, and immunodeficiency including human immunodeficiency virus. We present the case of a 4-year-old boy who had four episodes of recurrent parotid swelling over a period of 6 months.

“…To the Editor: Juvenile recurrent parotitis (JRP) is a rare, recurrent non-obstructive, and non-suppurative parotid inflammation having a multifactorial etiology. Many causative factors such as allergy, infection, local autoimmune manifestations and genetic inheritance have been suggested, but none have been proved [1,2]. MR sailography has become the modality of investigation in recent times [1][2][3].…”

“…Many causative factors such as allergy, infection, local autoimmune manifestations and genetic inheritance have been suggested, but none have been proved [1,2]. MR sailography has become the modality of investigation in recent times [1][2][3]. Treatment is mostly conservative with analgesics, attention to good oral hygiene, massage of the parotid gland, warmth, use of chewing gum and sialogogic agents.…”
