Mastitis and abscess of the newborn breast are serious infections. The objective of our study was to describe the epidemiological and therapeutic aspects of these infections in our context.
This was a retrospective study from January 2017 to December 2019. We included all children aged ≤2 months admitted for mastitis or breast abscess. The variables studied were epidemiological and therapeutic.
We collected 34 files, i.e., 11.3 cases/year. The sex ratio was 0.5. The mean age was 16.3 ± 6.6 days. The mean time to the consultation was 3.7 ± 2.4 days. The parents had undertaken a massage in 79.4% of cases. It was mastitis in 12 cases and abscess in 21 cases. Treatment was surgical in 26 cases.
This affection is frequent with a female predominance. Its management must be early. The proscription of breast massage would reduce its frequency.
新生儿乳腺炎和乳房脓肿是严重的感染。我们的研究目的是描述在我们的背景下这些感染的流行病学和治疗方面。
这是一项回顾性研究,时间为 2017 年 1 月至 2019 年 12 月。我们纳入了所有因乳腺炎或乳房脓肿而住院的≤2 个月大的儿童。研究的变量包括流行病学和治疗方面。
我们共收集了 34 份病历,即每年 11.3 例。男女比例为 0.5。平均年龄为 16.3 ± 6.6 天。平均就诊时间为 3.7 ± 2.4 天。79.4%的患儿家长曾自行按摩过乳房。其中 12 例为乳腺炎,21 例为脓肿。26 例患儿接受了手术治疗。
这种疾病发病率较高,以女性为主。必须尽早进行治疗。禁止乳房按摩可以降低其发病率。
