Salivary gland infection during treatment?

Hi All,

My brother, who is about to start his 2nd cycle of his 5th round of CyBorD and Velcade, IgA kappa, was admitted to the hospital 3 days ago with a very high temp (103 F, 39.4 C) and a massively swollen face. It was determined by CAT scan that he has an infected salivary gland and he has been on IV antibiotics.

Has anyone heard of a connection to Zometa (he gets this once per round, and had it 3 days before fever struck), CyBorD, or Velcade to infections in glands?

Thanks, GR
