Salivary gland diseases Flashcards
inflammation of salivary glands aka
sialadenitis
sialadenitis breakdown
viral infection
- mumps
- HIV
bacterial infection
sarcoid sialenditits
mumps cause
paramyxovirus
incubation of mumps
14-21 day incubation
acute onset - within 2 weeks
mumps onset, location and prediclition to
usually in children
- bilateral or unilaeal parotid gland enlargment
low grade fever
high grade fevers with mumps
suggestive of metastatic orchitis - in 25 % of males or meningitis
diagnosis of mumps
enlargmentof parotid
isolate in saliva
uses RT- PCR
paired serum IgG IgA / IgM – acute vs convalescent serum
- 4 fold rise in mumps antibody titers
IgM raised in early stage
histopathology of mumps
biopsy is not customarily to diagnose
treatment of chldren in mumps
self limiting in 1-2 weeks
- hydration, rest, isolation
nno specific therapy is given other than bed rest, analgesic and hydration
rare deaths occur from meningitis progressing to encephalitis
mumps vaccine when
15 months second to 4-6 years
with the MMR – mumps-measles-rubella
dont give vaccination of mumps to who
immunocompromised or those allergic to eggs or neomycin
HIV infection manifestations
salivary gland enlargment of unknown etiolgy – but viruses are the suspected cause
parotid is involved 98% of the time and disease is bilateral in 60% of the cases
more common in children than adults
HIV parotitis
fluid filled cysts of all sizes together with a diffuse inflammation,
thin epithelial lining with sever inflammation
CD 8 lymphocytes
NOT CD4
cytomegalovirus associated with
human herpes 5 – with the HIV parotitis
tx of the HIV parotitis
remove cyst and the surrounding gland tissue
can supplement
bacterial infection lovation
usually UNILATERAL
- VS viral = bilateral
bacterial infection in salivary glands?
actinomycosis - sulfur granules
actinomycosis ?
if occurs in the salivary glands – accompanied by SULFUR granules in the purulent discharge
tx in acute suppurative sialadenitis
must be treated aggresssively
surgical drainage more imp than medications
sarcoid sialadenitis
sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease with lympho- proliferation
systemic disease
cause of sarcoidosis
atypical mycobacterial infection or an altered reaction to mycobacterial tuberculosis
clinical features of sarcoid sialadenitis
BILATERAL DIFFUSE ENLARGMENT OF THE PAROTID GLANDS – indicates an early involvment in sarcoidosis
diagnosis of sarcoidosis
ESR elevated
CBC – leucopenia and or eosinophilia
diagnosis of sarcoidosis
ESR elevated
CBC – leucopenia and or eosinophilia
hypercalcemia – in advanced stages of disease he range of 50-80 mmHg
arterial hypoxema PaO2 in t
