Acute suppurative sialadenitis in a 37-day-old girl.
Sialadenitis is a rare diagnosis in early infancy, but it must be considered in the differential diagnosis of neck swelling in this age group. We present a case of a 37-day-old infant with sialadenitis who presented to the pediatric emergency department with fever and neck swelling. A discussion of this diagnosis and the relevant literature follows.
