Abstract
-
Infections of the salivary gland most commonly affect the major glands.
-
Infections may present as an acute, chronic, or acute and chronic problem.
-
The most common pathogens identified are viral and bacterial.
-
Children are affected with the same diseases as adults.
-
Adults most commonly present with total gland obstruction associated with sialolithiasis, ductal stenosis, or sialectasis.
-
Patients with recurrent symptoms should be investigated electively.
-
Total gland swelling is more likely ductal disease, as distinct to partial gland swelling which may be neoplastic or inflammatory disease.
