A salivary gland infection occurs when a bacterial or viral infection affects the salivary gland or duct. The infection can result from reduced saliva flow or the blockage or inflammation of a salivary duct. The condition is called sialadenitis. Your mouth is almost constantly flushed with saliva.
The majority of acute sialadenitis cases are caused by bacteria, especially Staphylococcus infections. Poor oral hygiene is a major risk factor for bacterial infection. Viral infections such as the mumps, herpes, and HIV can also lead to sudden salivary gland inflammation.hronic sialadenitis is often the result of salivary stones, hard deposits of calcium and other minerals that build up in the glands and cause blockages.
