Common risk factors in the development of parotitis are [[dehydration]], [[diabetes mellitus]], [[renal failure]], [[HIV]], [[Sjögrens’s syndrome]], [[anorexia]], [[bulimia]], and [[cystic fibrosis]].  


==Overview==
==Risk Factors==
Parotitis is a disease that occurs in debilitated patients. [[Dehydration]] and decreased salivary flow are the main risk factors for ascending infection through Stenson’s duct to the gland. Postoperative patients who are dehydrated and NPO with little salivary stimulation are at particular risk with an incidence estimated at 1 in 1000. Debilitating medical conditions such as [[Diabetes mellitus]], [[renal failure]], [[HIV]], and [[Sjögrens’s syndrome]] are also risk factors. Patients with [[Anorexia]], [[Bulimia]], [[CF]], or those with salivary ductal dilation are also at risk. Ductal dilation is found in those with high intraoral pressure such as trumpet players and glass blowers and medications with [[anticholinergic]] properties or diuretic effects.
Risk factors for the development of parotitis include:
*[[Dehydration]]
*Decreased salivary flow
**Postoperative patients
**Debilitated patients
*[[Diabetes mellitus]],  
*[[Renal failure]],  
*[[HIV]],  
*[[Sjögrens’s syndrome]]
*[[Anorexia]],  
*[[Bulimia]],  
*[[CF]]
*Salivary ductal dilation
**Trumpet players  
**Glass blowers
*Medications with [[anticholinergic]] properties or [[diuretic]] effects
