Abstract
|
|
|
|
Neonatal mastitis is a localized infection of breast tissue which rarely occurs during the neonatal period. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common causative pathogen of neonatal mastitis. Intravenous antibiotic therapy is usually regarded as an effective treatment modality; however, in some cases breast abscess can be formed which might need further surgical incision and drainage. Here, we present a case of neonatal mastitis with breast abscess formation, which undergone ultrasonography-guided needle aspiration and fully recovered without additional surgical incision. Needle aspiration under ultrasonography guidance can be considered as an effective and less-invasive treatment of neonatal mastitis with abscess.
