[Neonatal submandibular sialadenitis].
Submandibular sialadenitis is very rare in the neonatal period. Only a few cases have been reported of isolated submandibular gland infection without the involvement of the parotid gland. In the present case, a premature boy, fourteen days old, developed clinical signs of infection and bilateral submandibular erythematous swelling. Pus was expressed from the submandibular ducts. Culture yielded Staphylococcus aureus. He was treated with intravenous netilmicin and cefuroxin. The infection resolved after antibiotic therapy.
