abstract: A sibling was taken into hospital at the age of 3 weeks with an acute suppurative parotitis of the left parotid. Since birth, the child had suffered from recurrent infections. Her mother was known with recurrent furunculosis. Ultrasonography of the left parotid showed a diffuse enlarged parotid with multiple areas of necrosis. After a diagnostic puncture, a penicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus was found. Therapy consisted of intravenous antibiotics.
