Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus as a Cause of Neonatal Suppurative Parotitis

Neonatal suppurative parotitis is an uncommon illness in the neonate, with only about 100 cases published in the world literature over the last 60 years.1 This relatively rare entity generally responds well to antibiotic therapy, but does have the potential for serious complications. Here, we present two cases of neonatal suppurative parotitis, highlighting one case caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Included is a review of the English-language literature published on this disease to date. Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus as a Cause of Neonatal Suppurative Parotitis
