Abstract

Acute suppurative parotitis and parotid gland abscess are infrequently encountered among children. Fourteen children were diagnosed in the Sheba Medical Center as suffering from these infections and their clinical features are described. Discussion reveals neither significant differences nor predominating factors to differentiate between these two entities.
