Acute suppurative parotitis is an uncommon infection. However, given that acute suppurative parotitis tends to occur in the elderly and considering the aging population, the incidence of acute suppurative parotitis may increase in the future. To prevent acute suppurative parotitis, hydration, good oral hygiene, and avoiding diuretics and anticholinergics are essential. We present the case of a frail elderly patient with acute suppurative parotitis due to dehydration following acute ischemic stroke. Our case highlights the importance of appropriate fluid management in elderly patients.
急性化脓性腮腺炎是一种罕见的感染性疾病。然而，鉴于急性化脓性腮腺炎往往发生在老年人中，并且考虑到人口老龄化的趋势，未来急性化脓性腮腺炎的发病率可能会增加。为预防急性化脓性腮腺炎，补充水分、保持良好的口腔卫生以及避免使用利尿剂和抗胆碱能药物至关重要。我们报告了一例因急性缺血性中风后脱水导致急性化脓性腮腺炎的体弱老年患者的病例。我们的病例强调了老年患者适当液体管理的重要性。
