AVILA-SANCHEZ, Carlos; TELLEZ-RODRIGUEZ, Jorge e LOPEZ-FERNANDEZ, Rubí. Childhood chronic recurrent bacterial sialadenitis: Clinical characterization. Acta pediatr. Méx [online]. 2015, vol.36, n.2, pp.114-121. ISSN 2395-8235.
Recurrent sialadenitis is the second most common inflammatory condition that affects the parotid gland, preceded by viral parotitis; pathology is it clinically very similar to sialadenitis, for which reason in should be considered in the differential diagnosis. Recurrent sialadenitis is characterized by periodic inflammatory episodes increased volume of the in the parotid gland, fever and malaise, alternating with intervals of remission, in which the gland is clinically asymptomatic. In our experience at the National Institute of Pediatrics, we consider the term chronic recurrent bacterial sialadenitis of childhood, as the specific and complete definition of this disease. In view of its recurrence, we decided to write this article indicating clinical characteristics of this pathology.
