Pneumoparotitis (also termed pneumosialadenitis [1] wind parotitis, [1] surgical mumps, [2] or anaesthesia mumps), [2] is a rare cause of parotid gland swelling which occurs when air is forced through the parotid (Stensen) duct resulting in inflation of the duct.
The mumps virus was first identified as the cause of mumps in 1934 and was first isolated in 1945. Within a few years after isolation, vaccines protecting against MuV infection had been developed. MuV was first recognized as a species in 1971, and it has been given the scientific name Mumps orthorubulavirus .
When diagnosed and treated with antitubercular medications, the gland may return to normal in 1–3 months. [2] Acute viral parotitis (mumps): The most common viral cause of parotitis is mumps. Routine vaccinations have dropped the incidence of mumps to a very low level. Mumps resolves on its own in about ten days.
Unless the individual has an impaired immune system, e.g., owing to HIV or cancer-related immune suppression, [22] recurrent infections tend to be mild in nature and may be brought on by stress, sun, menstrual periods, trauma or physical stress. [23] Mumps of the salivary glands is a viral infection of the parotid glands.
Males are affected with cSCC at a ratio of 3:1 in comparison to females. [25] Those who have light skin, red or blonde hair and light colored eyes are also at increased risk. [25] Squamous-cell carcinoma of the skin can be found on all areas of the body but is most common on frequently sun-exposed areas, such as the face, legs and arms. [68]
Polymorphous light eruption (PLE) presents with itchy red small bumps on sun-exposed skin, particularly face, neck, forearms and legs. [1] It generally appears 30 minutes to a few hours after sun exposure and may last between one and 14 days. [3] The bumps may become small blisters or plaques and may appear bloody, [3] often healing with ...
[1] [2] [3] It is a type IV hypersensitivity reaction in which T-lymphocytes target skin keratinocytes due to the presence of specific proteins that resemble antigens of HSV, Mycoplasma, or other pathogens and foreign substances. [3] It is an uncommon disorder, with peak incidence in the second and third decades of life.
In the past nucleic acid tests have mainly been used as a secondary test to confirm positive serological results. [3] However, as they become cheaper and more automated, they are increasingly becoming the primary tool for diagnostics and can also be use for monitoring of treatment of viral infected individuals t.
