[Differential diagnostic observations on acute sialadenitis].
62 inpatients suffering from an acute suppurative sialadenitis of the parotid and submaxillary glands were treated at the ENT clinic of the University of Homburg/Saar between 1982 and 1988. In general, the anamnesis is short. Typical findings are fully elastic, immobile, painful swellings of the inflamed salivary gland. In most cases, staphylococci could be identified by microbiological examination as the causative germs. As therapy, high-dose antibiotic treatment is necessary. In case of an abscess or a phlegmon, incision and drainage has also been performed. Differential diagnosis of an acute purulent sialadenitis is discussed and listed in tabular form.
