While Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) typically presents with respiratory tract symptoms, atypical manifestations have been reported. We present a case of a 46-year-old man who presented with fever but no respiratory tract symptoms, and later develops bilateral parotitis. We review the literature for all other reported cases of parotitis and describe common features of these cases. It is important to consider COVID-19 in cases of parotitis, as this impacts patient management and ensures important infection control measures are undertaken.
虽然2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)通常表现为呼吸道症状,但也有非典型表现的报道。我们报告一例46岁男性病例,该患者表现为发热但无呼吸道症状,随后发展为双侧腮腺炎。我们回顾了所有其他报道的腮腺炎病例的文献,并描述了这些病例的共同特征。在腮腺炎病例中考虑COVID-19很重要,因为这会影响患者的管理,并确保采取重要的感染控制措施。
