    Mumps is a contagious viral illness that causes swelling of the salivary glands, usually the parotid glands located below and in front of the ears. It is caused by the mumps virus and spreads through saliva or mucus. While mumps infections often cause only mild illness in children, complications can include meningitis, encephalitis, and orchitis in adult males. The mumps virus is prevented by the MMR vaccine, which the CDC recommends all children receive two doses of.

    MUMPS (PAROTITIS)

    • Mumps is an acute, self-limited, systemic viral illness characterized by


    the swelling of one or more of the salivary glands, typically the
    parotid glands.
    • Today, most reported mumps cases occur in school-aged children (age
    5-14 year)
    • Mumps is no longer very common in the United States. In 2015, an
    estimated 422 cases were identified in US
    ETIOLOGY
    • Mumps is caused by the RNA virus, Rubulavirus.
    • Rubulavirus is within the genus Paramyxovirus and is a member of
    the family Paramyxoviridae.
    • This virus contains a single-stranded, negative-sense RNA surrounded
    by a glycoprotein envelope.
    • The virus usually causes mild disease in children, but in adults can
    lead to complications, such as meningitis and orchitis
    TRANSMISSION
    Mumps is a contagious disease caused by a virus. It spreads through
    saliva or mucus from the mouth, nose, or throat. An infected person
    can spread the virus by
    • coughing, sneezing, or talking,
    • sharing items, such as cups or eating utensils, with others, and
    • touching objects or surfaces with unwashed hands that are then
    touched by others.
    RISK FACTORS
    • Lack of immunization
    • international travel
    • immune deficiencies are all factors
    SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
    • Symptoms in the patient’s history consist mostly of fever, headache,
    and malaise
    • Within 24 hours, patients may report ear pain localized near the ear
    lobe that is aggravated by a chewing movement of the jaw
    • Older children may describe a swelling sensation at the mandibular
    angle and an associated sour taste in the mouth
    • Symptoms typically appear 16-18 days after infection, but this period
    can range from 12-25 days after infection.
    • Most people with mumps recover completely in a few weeks.
    PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
    • Ordinarily, the parotid gland is not palpable, but in patients with
    mumps, it rapidly progresses to maximum swelling over several days.
    • Submaxillary gland edema, palpable underneath and anterior to the
    angle of the mandible, may be accompanied by edema spreading
    onto the cheek and downward onto the neck.
    TREATMENT
    • Diet : Avoidance of acidic foods (eg, tomato, vinegar-containing food
    additives) and liquids (eg, orange juice) is beneficial to lessen oral
    pain and discomfort.
    • Bed rest
    • Medication : Treatment of mumps is usually supportive care.
    Ibuprofen or acetaminophen may be prescribed for severe headaches
    or discomfort and pain due to parotitis.
    PREVENTION
    • Vaccines MMR (mumps, measles, Rubella).
    • CDC recommends that children routinely receive get two doses of
    MMR vaccine: the first dose at 12 through 15 months of age, and the
    second dose at 4 through 6 years of age.
    COMPLICATIONS
    • inflammation of the testicles (orchitis) in males who have reached
    puberty; rarely does this lead to fertility problems
    • inflammation of the brain (encephalitis)
    • inflammation of the tissue covering the brain and spinal cord
    (meningitis)
    • inflammation of the ovaries (oophoritis) and/or breasts (mastitis) in
    females who have reached puberty
    • deafness
