ABSTRACT

Introduction: recurrent parotitis of childhood is an inflammatory disease of the parotid glands that frequently occurs in pediatric patients.
Objective: to describe some clinical aspects and the progression of recurrent parotitis of childhood in a group of children seen at "Hermanos Cordové" hospital, Manzanillo, Gramma province, Cuba.
Methods: longitudinal and descriptive study was conducted. The population was made up of 86 patients with the disease, who were seen from 1990 to 2005. The information was collected through observation and interview and the study variables were sex, age at the first medical appointment, location, age at the time of remission, number of crises and functional status of the glands at the end of the follow-up period. Summary statistic methods included central tendency and dispersion measures. Mean differences and their 95% confidence intervals were then determined.
Results: males (66.3 %), five to nine years of age patients (53.5 %) and right location (47.6 %). The average time elapsed from the first medical appointment to remission of crises was 3 and a half years whereas the average number of crises was 6.36.
Conclusions: recovery was good. At the end of the follow-up period, all the patients showed adequate salivary gland function.
