“…Although the parotid glands are highly susceptible to inflammation and parotitis is a common disorder [ 12 , 13 ], PA and SP are less common and are defined as sequelae of parotitis. They are usually bacterial rather than viral in origin [ 1 , [7] , [8] , [9] , 14 ]. PA usually manifest in neonates and premature infants, and are uncommon in adults and children [ 4 , 5 , 9 ], although some studies have reported that healthy, middle aged individuals are commonly affected [ 8 , 10 ].…”

“…have also been isolated in previous studies [ 1 , [4] , [5] , [6] , 10 , 16 , 17 , 24 ]. Negative bacterial cultures have also been reported in some specimens, due to the use of pre-admission antibiotics [ 9 ], or to the presence of other types of pathogenic organisms such as viruses, fungi or parasites [ [12] , [13] , [14] ]. Our result also showed 14 cases with negative culture, the possible reasons that indicted negative result might be from 1) received previous antibiotic that may sterilized the pus, 2) no anaerobic culture was obtained and 3) non-suppurative process.…”

Background We analysed clinical factors that are predictive of a diagnosis of parotid abscess among patients with bacterial parotitis. Material and methods This retrospective study included 64 hospitalised patients who were diagnosed with parotid abscess, or bacterial parotitis. Data on patient demographics, clinical characteristics, and clinical management were collected. Predictive factors for parotid abscess were evaluated using univariate and multivariate analysis. Results There were 25 patients with parotid abscess and 39 with bacterial parotitis. All patients presented with moderate-to-severe disease, required parenteral antibiotics, or had indicators for surgical drainage. Patient profiles and immune status were not significantly associated with parotid abscess. However, parameters that were significantly related to parotid abscess were subacute presentation (approximate 10.4 days) (p value = 0.016), fluctuation (p value < 0.001), and normal (haemoglobin) Hb level >12–13 g/dL (p value = 0.035). Imaging indicated the abscess location, extension and evaluated the complications. Surgical drainage with small skin incision and antibiotic coverage for possible pathogens, in particular Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. produced favourable patient outcomes. Complication was identified in 3 cases with included septicaemia and cellulitis of the face and parapharyngeal space. Conclusions Among bacterial parotitis patients, parotid abscess should be considered in whom presented with subacute duration of symptoms, enlarged glands with fluctuation, and non-anaemic problem. Instead of standard skin incision of parotidectomy, small vertical skin incision over a well localised abscess pocket or fluctuated area achieved the good results.

“…Acute suppurative parotitis (ASP), most frequently involving unilateral parotid swelling, 11 is an acute, painful, diffuse disease that probably develops from an ascending ductal infection. 12,13 pacia is a common pathogen in immunocompromised individuals, 24,25 especially among patients with cancer and HIV, 26,27 and it is capable of causing severe, life-threatening infections.…”

Parotitis due to Burkholderia cepacia infection after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL), an aggressive and poorly treated neoplasm of immature T-cell precursors or lymphoblasts, 1 develops more frequently in underage males and a small proportion of adults, 2 and it is typically characterized by a grossly enlarged mediastinum with bone marrow involvement. 3 Published data indicate that hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) can provide sustained long-term survival and a considerable cure rate for patients. 4,5 Moreover, HSCT combined with chemotherapy may significantly improve the survival rate of patients with T-LBL. 6 It is well known that HSCT can lead to a series of adverse events such as opportunistic infections or organ rejection syndrome, but rapidly developing parotitis after HSCT is uncommon. Thus far, to the best of our knowledge, only two cases of parotitis after allo-HSCT have been reported, which were associated with parainfluenza virus (PIV) 7 or graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). 8 However, suppurative parotitis after auto-HSCT has not been reported until now. Herein, we present this unusual case and our experiences in its management.

“…Children and adolescents are particularly susceptible to developing mumps, as they have the mumps virus infectious contact history ( 13 ). Pyogenic parotitis is caused by bacterial infection ( 14 ), and the clinical manifestation includes that one side parotid gland of patient is inflamed, the patient often feels fever, and the parotid gland appears red, swollen, hot and painful. Pus exits the parotid gland duct when pressure is applied to the parotid gland.…”

Mumps caused by paraquat-induced poisoning: A case report

Paraquat (PQ) is a highly toxic herbicide that harms the liver, kidney, lungs and heart, and results in a variety of complications. The majority of patients with severe PQ poisoning may succumb to multiple organ failure, and the mortality rate is high. Although a large number of studies have been performed investigating PQ poisoning, cases of mumps caused by PQ-induced poisoning are rare. In the present case report, a 45-year-old female who ingested PQ was admitted to the Emergency Department of Liaocheng People's Hospital (Liaocheng, China). During the development of the disease, mumps was caused by a cavity ulcer following PQ poisoning. To the best of our knowledge, cases of mumps following PQ poisoning are rare.
