Abstract
- The parotid gland is the most commonly infected salivary gland. Parotid abscess occurs mostly in elderly persons who are debilitated by systemic illness. Staphylococcus aureus and anaerobic bacteria are mostly cultured in aspirates of pus from parotid abscess. We report a case of a parotid abscess that grew Candida glabrata on culture after fine-needle aspiration biopsy. This organism has not been previously associated with this condition.
