In mastitis, the affected portion of the breast is
painful, hyperemic, edematous and warm. If infection is
present, important systemic manifestations occur, such
as malaise, high-grade fever (above 38 oC) and chills.
Sodium and chloride levels are elevated in the milk
whereas lactose levels are low, which makes the milk
taste saltier and may be rejected by the infant. Mastitis
usually is unilateral, but it may be bilateral as well.
