Epidemiological investigation into risk factors associated with acute suppurative parotitis caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei in Thai children Melioidosis is a major cause of paediatric morbidity and mortality in north east Thailand. Acute suppurative parotitis is the presenting clinical feature in one third of cases. The mechanisms by which this occurs are poorly understood. We hypothesise that bacteria gain direct entry into the parotid gland via the mouth, and that risk factors include. B. pseudomallei contamination of the mouth. The aim of this study is to develop an epidemiological tool to identify risk factors for acute suppurative parotitis in children living in north east Thailand. This will subsequently be applied during a prospective study at Sappasithiprasong Hospital.
