Abstract

Sialadenitis in children has been discussed. A literature review highlighting salient points in sialadenitis is presented. Classification of sialadenitis is discussed using the categories of several authors. An unusual case involving acute suppurative parotitis in a child is presented. The development of contralateral disease while treatment was in progress was unusual. In this case, association with mumps parotitis was strongly suspected despite previous immunization. Progression of disease with abscess formation is also unusual. Mumps virus parotitis has been rarely reported in association with acute suppurative parotitis. Immunization affords protection, but a definite failure rate exists. Based upon histologic examination, mumps parotitis would seem to be a predisposing factor for bacterial infection.

CRISPR & Staphylococcus

CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Staphylococci are associated with life-threatening infections in hospitals, as well as the community. Here is the latest research on how CRISPR-Cas system can be used for treatment of Staphylococcal infections.
