Abstract
Acute suppurative infection of salivary glands in the neonatal period is a rare entity; and almost always involves the parotid glands. A rar e case of neck abscess in association with right submandibular suppura tive sialadenitis in a 7-day-old baby is presented. The possible etiol ogy, diagnosis, and management of this uncommon disease are discussed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
