Juvenile Recurrent Parotitis: A Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Juvenile recurrent parotitis (JRP) is a rare recurrent nonobstructive, nonsuppurative parotid gland inflammation in young children with a multifactorial etiology characterized by multiple episodes of parotid swelling and/or pain associated with fever or malaise over a period of years. In most cases the symptoms resolve spontaneously after puberty but all children should be screened to exclude Sjogren’s syndrome, lymphoma and immuno deficiency including Human immuno deficiency virus. Our case is a nine year old girl who had 10 episodes of recurrent right parotid swelling in the past 2 years. Keywords: recurrent, parotitis, juvenile.
