Neonatal suppurative Parotitis: a study of five cases.
European journal of pediatrics, 1999Co-Authors: G. Sabatino, Alberto Verrotti, M. De Martino, Paola Fusilli, Rosanna Pallotta, F. ChiarelliAbstract:Suppurative Parotitis is uncommon in newborns. During a 9-year study period, five cases of neonatal suppurative Parotitis were detected in 3,624 hospital admissions. The relative risk of developing neonatal suppurative Parotitis in admitted infants was 5.52 (0.62–49.35). Staphylococcus aureus was the causative organism most commonly detected in the hospital-acquired cases. Antimicrobial therapy was effective in all cases; surgery was not required. Conclusion Although neonatal suppurative Parotitis is now uncommon in the newborn, it cannot be considered a “vanishing disease”.

Selective IgA deficiency in children with recurrent Parotitis of childhood.
The Pediatric infectious disease journal, 2005Co-Authors: Tamas Fazekas, Peter Wiesbauer, Brigitte Schroth, Ulrike Pötschger, Helmut Gadner, Andreas HeitgerAbstract:Recurrent Parotitis of childhood is defined as the relapsing form of juvenile (idiopathic) Parotitis and represents a rare inflammatory disorder of the parotid gland with potentially significant morbidity. We reviewed the charts of patients who were diagnosed with inflammatory parotid diseases in our institution between 1992 and 2002. There were 91 patients presenting with juvenile Parotitis (1 of 6117 of all clinical visits). Of these 91 cases, 23 patients (28%) had the relapsing form of juvenile Parotitis, and the median number of episodes was 5 (range, 2-20). Laboratory investigations revealed that 5 patients had selective IgA deficiency. The prevalence (22%) is different from the cumulative prevalence of IgA deficiency in a healthy population (0.3%; P < 0.001).
