Acute Neonatal Parotitis in A Newborn: A Case Report

Abstract

Acute neonatal parotitis is a rare entitiy in neonates. It is often characterised by the enlargement of the parotid gland. Although the main agent is Staphylococcus aureus, other bacterial agents may be isolated as well. Prematurity, low birth weight, dehydration, immun supression, oral trauma, and septicaemia are the major risk factors for acute neonatal parotitis. In this article, we report a previously healthy 18-day-old term newborn presented with irritability and inconsolable cry who was diagnosed as acute neonatal parotitis. Laboratory evaluation showed increased CRP and procalcitonin levels with normal amylase concentration. USG and MRI findings confirmed acute parotitis. The patient received cefazolin and amikacin for 10 days. The only risk factor for our patient was oral trauma. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent complications.
