[Inflammation of the salivary glands attributed to the use of nitrofurantoin].
In six patients, women of 49, 59, 71, 82, 76 and 64 years old, acute inflammation of parotid and submandibular salivary glands was diagnosed. All were using nitrofurantoin as treatment for urinary tract infection. The symptoms disappeared after the treatment was discontinued. There were no signs of hypersensitivity to nitrofurantoin. Three of the patients had similar complaints during previous treatment with nitrofurantoin.
