Abstract

BIZOS, AK Ogonowski; WHITE, M; FAGAN, J  and  PRETORIUS, V. Fungal abscess of the parotid gland - the value of microbiological assessment. S. Afr. j. surg. [online]. 2023, vol.61, n.2, pp.51-53. ISSN 2078-5151.  http://dx.doi.org/10.36303/SAJS.3899.

Fungal parotitis is rare and the sequela parotid abscess exceedingly so. We report our experience with Candida glabrata and Candida albicans parotid gland abscesses in critically ill HIV-positive patients and highlight the value of microbiological assessment to tailor management.

Keywords : fungal abscess; parotid gland; microbiological assessment.
