Abstract
A case of streptobacillary rat-bite fever in an 11-year-old boy from rural North Carolina is described. The child's clinical course was unique in that he developed a subglottic mass and bilateral parotid swelling. He responded initially to tetracycline but relapsed after therapy. Cure was ultimately achieved with a three-week course of penicillin. A review of the literature concerning this unusual clinical entity is presented.Entities:
