H C Dominick

Neonatal suppurative parotitis is described in 6 patients followed by a review of the literature. About 30-40% of the patients were premature, dehydration constitutes a predisposing factor. Infection occurs usually by bacteria ascending the duct. In 5 of our 6 patients infection had been caused by staphylococci; E. coli was found in 2 patients and pseudomonas in 1 patient. The parenteral therapy with antibiotics is usually sufficient.
