The common types of pyogenic parotitis are caused by the Staphylococcus aureus,'the Streptococcus viridans, and the pneumococcus. Each of these bacteria gives rise to a pathological and clinical type of the disease with certain clearly defined features. The Staph. aureus characteristically gives rise to acute parotitis, the Strep. viridans to recurrent parotitis, and the pneumococcus to a recurrent type of the disease in which the exacerbations are severe and may pass on to suppuration and abscess formation.
