parotitis/edema

Lupus erythematosus panniculitis or lupus erythematosus profundus is characterized by inflammation of the deep dermis and subcutaneous tissue. It can occur in isolation or associated with chronic systemic or discoid lupus erythematosus. It usually consists of nodules and hardened subcutaneous

The Authors present a substantial series of infant APING in which the venous blood gas analysis shows poor use of oxygen, due to a probably reduced cellular combustion associated with low pCO2, high pH, which are characteristic of arterial blood travelling through anastomotic paths and preferential

A case of toxic shock syndrome associated with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus parotitis in a 13-year-old male is presented. He was initially diagnosed with left-sided parotitis by his primary care physician, was started on sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, and became severely ill the

BACKGROUND Acute swelling of the parotid glands after general anesthesia has become known as anesthesia mumps. Its cause is unknown. Only one case of postsurgical parotitis without general anesthesia is reported. This report describes three cases in this setting after plastic surgery. METHODS A

Cats injected into the parotid gland and testicle with a bacterial sterile filtrate of the salivary secretion of children in the active stage of parotitis or mumps can be made to develop a pathological condition having several points of resemblance to the condition present in mumps in human beings.

Neonatal suppurative parotitis (NSP) is a very rare disease of the salivary glands, usually involving the parotids. It is mostly due to Staphylococcus aureus bacterial infection among patients with predisposing factors, and management mainly relies on hydration and intravenous antibiotics with an

Post-anesthesic parotiditis is a little known entity related with anesthesic procedures but described in any situation that motivates manipulation of the oropharyngeal cavity. Its physiopathological mechanism is not well-defined, although it could have a multifactorial origin. A case of a male who

The diagnosis and management of parotitis can be challenging. Patients often present with pain and edema in the neck, jaw, head, and ear due to congestion of the gland. Parotitis is typically caused by an infection within the parotid gland and surrounding lymph nodes, and the infection can spread to

The release of glandular kallikrein into the interstitium of the parotid gland appears to play an important role in the occurrence of the inflammatory interstitial edema in chronic recurrent parotitis. This provides fresh impetus for the treatment of this parotid disease with a kallikrein inhibitor.

Mechanical trauma of rat parotid gland led to an increase in the size of the gland (due to edema) with simultaneous activation of unspecific proteases, which were estimated at pH 7.6 using casein as a substrate. Administration of kallikrein-like salivary enzyme salivain into non-traumatized parotid

Mumps is still a common childhood disease in rural areas where mumps vaccination is not widespread. A 14-year-old girl with fatal interstitial nephritis as a complication of mumps is reported. The patient had not been vaccinated with mumps vaccine and had contracted mumps during a village epidemic.

OBJECTIVE To report two cases of corneal endotheliitis following mumps parotitis. METHODS Observational case reports of two patients presenting with sudden unilateral diminution of vision while they were in the resolution phase of mumps parotitis. RESULTS Central corneal edema with no associated

The endocardial fibroelastosis (EFE) is the most frequent cardiomyopathy. This disease is characterised by endocardial hyperplasia due to proliferation of elastic and collagenous fibres. There are primary and secondary forms. Within the primary form, the infantile form is the most frequent and of

A 12-year-old girl got abdominal pain three weeks after having received the second vaccination against MMR. MRCP showed dilatation of ductus choledochus and edema of caput pancreaticus. No stone was to be seen and the P-calcium level was normal. Hepatitis A virus, Ebstein-Barr virus,
