In acute bacterial sialadenitis, acinar destruction with interstitial neutrophil infiltrates is observed. Small abscesses with necrosis are common. In viral sialadenitis, vacuolar changes are seen in the acini with lymphocytic and monocytic infiltrate found in the interstitium. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) sialadenitis may show no gross symptoms.
Infections involving the salivary glands can be viral or bacterial (or rarely fungal). Mumps is the most common viral sialadenitis. It usually occurs in children and involves pain in front of the ear, swelling of the parotid, fever, chills, and headaches. [2] Bacterial sialadenitis is usually caused by ascending organisms from the mouth.
Chronic sclerosing sialadenitis is a chronic (long-lasting) inflammatory condition affecting the salivary gland.Relatively rare in occurrence, this condition is benign, but presents as hard, indurated and enlarged masses that are clinically indistinguishable from salivary gland neoplasms or tumors.
Common symptoms of chronic inflammation include fatigue, joint or muscle pain, long-lasting digestive issues, brain fog or difficulty concentrating, skin problems (like eczema or acne) and ...
The usual symptoms are pain and swelling of the affected salivary gland, both of which get worse when salivary flow is stimulated, e.g. with the sight, thought, smell or taste of food, or with hunger or chewing. This is often termed "mealtime syndrome." [2] Inflammation or infection of the gland may develop as a result.
Influenza is surging in the U.S., with doctor visits for flu symptoms at a 15-year high. Why is this flu season so bad? Doctors discuss flu trends and prevention.
Ludwig's angina (Latin: Angina ludovici) is a type of severe cellulitis involving the floor of the mouth [2] and is often caused by bacterial sources. [1] Early in the infection, the floor of the mouth raises due to swelling, leading to difficulty swallowing saliva. As a result, patients may present with drooling and difficulty speaking. [3]
After years of low incidence, such bacterial infections reemerged worldwide in 2023. Pneumonia, which can be bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic, comes in many forms.
