neonatal parotitis is a rare entitiy in neonates. It is often characterised by
the enlargement of the parotid gland. Although the main agent is <i>Staphylococcus aureus </i>, 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. </span> <br /> </p>}, number={4}, publisher={Ramazan AKDEMİR}
