IgA 결핍증을 동반한 만성 재발성 이하선염 1예

Recurrent parotitis in children is defined as the relapsing form of juvenile parotitis. Although the etiology is unknown, the disease is occasionally associated with viral infections, congenital malformations of the duct, allergies, autoimmune disorders. We present a case report of recurrent parotitis with selective immunoglobuln A deficiency in a sixteen-year-old boy. We recommend that immunoglobulines like IgA should be checked in children who have recurrent parotitis. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2014;25:251-254)
