sialadenitis/fever

BACKGROUND Drug-induced sialadenitis is uncommon and unrecognized. Drugs such as nitrofurantoïn, nifedipine and methimazole have been reported to induce sialadenitis. However, phenylbutazone and oxyphenbutazone are the most frequently implicated agents. We describe a case of phenylbutazone-induced

The influenza A virus has accounted for the majority of influenza infections in the 2017 to 2018 flu season, with the typical clinical presentation including fever, myalgias, malaise, and nonproductive cough. Notably this season, we have recognized a cluster of influenza A cases presenting as severe

Sialadenitis is an uncommon side effect of phenylbutazone, and we report seven patients with this reaction who were admitted to Fairfield Infectious Diseases Hospital over a seven year period. In addition to salivary gland swellings, all patients had evidence of a systemic disturbance that included

Sialadenitis is a rare diagnosis in early infancy, but it must be considered in the differential diagnosis of neck swelling in this age group. We present a case of a 37-day-old infant with sialadenitis who presented to the pediatric emergency department with fever and neck swelling. A discussion of

Sialadenitis ("iodide mumps") and allergic vasculitis are rare sequelae to administration of iodinated contrast media. The condition is characterized by rapid, painless, bilateral enlargement of salivary glands following administration of iodinated contrast media. An 81-year-old female patient with

Sialadenitis is a rare disease in the newborn and the pathogenesis in this age group is not fully understood. We report five cases of neonatal sialadenitis in stable preterm, gavage-fed infants at 2 to 6 weeks postnatal age. The occurrence of sialadenitis was observed in temporal relation to changes

Neonatal isolated suppurative submandibular sialadenitis (NISSS) is rare, with only 21 cases described in the English literature. All cases, with the exception of one, were caused by Staphylococcus aureus. In this case report, we describe a preterm neonate with NISSS due to infection by S aureus and

The unusual case of a 60 year-old woman is discussed. She presented with sialadenitis, paresis of the facial nerve, keratoconjunctivitis and ulcus vulvae. Basic anamnestic information revealed primary enlargement of the submandibular gland, fever, otitis, sinusitis and a pulmonary tumour. The serum

BACKGROUND Acute suppurative sialadenitis (hereafter referred to as sialadenitis) is accompanied by pain and fever and can diminish the quality of life in end-stage cancer patients; however, its incidence is not clear. OBJECTIVE We conducted this study to elucidate the incidence of sialadenitis in

A 71-year-old man was admitted with malaise, mild fever, anorexia, body weight loss, lower back pain, thirst, and polydipsia. He showed bilateral swelling of the submandibular glands. Examinations showed panhypopituitarism and a high serum IgG4 concentration. Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission

Submandibular sialadenitis is very rare in the neonatal age group. Only four cases of isolated submandibular gland infection without the involvement of the parotid gland have been reported in the literature up to the present time. We present a case of a premature newborn infant who developed fever

Many conditions affect the salivary glands. Acute sialadenitis is infectious or inflammatory disorders of the salivary glands. The exact frequency of submandibular sialadenitis is unclear. The acute conditions more typically involve the parotid and submandibular glands. During an acute inflammatory

The anti-leukemic effect of etoposide is well documented. High-dose etoposide 60 mg/kg in combination with fractionated total body irradiation (TBI), usually single fractions of 1.2 Gy up to a total of 13.2 Gy, is used as conditioning therapy for allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Most studies of

UNASSIGNED Cysts of the salivary glands are common lesions that occur in the context of various etiologies. Although the diagnostic importance of cysts in salivary gland diseases has been well studied, molecular mechanisms that control the related pathological process remain largely unknown. IL-34
