Differential diagnosis of bacterial sialadenitis in a rheumatologist's practice: a case report

Abstract

The paper describes a clinical case of a female patient with bacterial sialadenitis. The specific features of this case are sialadenitis concurrent with serum monoclonal secretion, as well as the absence of the effect of previous antibacterial therapy. The author describes basic directions in the differential diagnosis of sialadenitis, which requires that rheumatic, granulomatous, and tumor diseases should be ruled out.
