Page 2: Mumps report

History of the disease:

• Is an acute viral infection of salivary glands particularly the parotids.

• An acute contagious disease.• The characteristics feature of which there is

swelling of one or both of the parotid glands, usually occurring in epidemic form.

Mumps (epidemic parotitis)• is a viral disease of the human species, caused by

the mumps virus. • Before the development of vaccination and the

introduction of a vaccine, it was a common childhood disease worldwide.

• It is still a significant threat to health in the third world, and outbreaks still occur sporadically in developed countries.

Causative agent: Filterable Virus (Paramyxovirus).

• Mode of entry: Direct by person-to-person contact or droplet or airborne infection with the oropharynx as the portal entry.

Page 7: Mumps report

•System affected: Lymphatic System

• Incubation period: 2-3 weeks; average 18 days

•Period of communicability: From 7 days before until 9 days after the period glands swell.

Parotitis – the parotid glands become visibly enlarged and tender, reaching a maximum size within 2- 3 days.

Initial symptom:

Page 9: Mumps report

CAUSE:

• Mumps is a contagious disease that is spread from person to person through contact with respiratory secretions, such as saliva from an infected person.

• When an infected person coughs or sneezes, the droplets aerosolize and can enter the eyes, nose, or mouth of another person.

• Can also be spread by sharing food and drinks.

• The virus can also survive on surfaces and then be spread after contact in a similar manner.

Clinical findings:

• Slight malaise/sickness• Low-grade fever• Headache• Anorexia• Pain below the ear, particularly on moving jaws.• Parotid gland is swollen, painful enlarged and

tender in varying degrees.

Page 11: Mumps report

• Orchitis or epididymitis (inflammation of testicles)Painful testicular swelling and rash may also occur. (The

symptoms are generally not severe in children.) In teenage males and men, complications such as

infertility.

• Oophoritis (inflammation of ovaries) • Dysphagia• Nausea and vomiting• Other symptoms of mumps can include dry

mouth, sore face/ears (occasionally in more serious cases, loss of voice.)

In addition

• Males past puberty who develop mumps have a 30 % risk of orchitis.

• Up to 20% of person infected with the mumps virus do not show symptoms, so it is possible to be infected and spread the virus without knowing it.

Page 13: Mumps report

Prevention• The most common preventative measure against

mumps is a vaccination with a mumps vaccine, (invented by American microbiologist Maurice Hilleman at Merck.)

GET VACCINATED!

Treatment• There is no specific treatment for mumps. • Symptoms may be relieved by the application of

intermittent ice or heat to the affected neck/testicular area.

• acetaminophen/paracetamol (Tylenol) for pain relief. Aspirin is not used due to a hypothetical link with Reye's syndrome.

Page 16: Mumps report

• Warm salt water gargles, soft foods, and extra fluids may also help relieve symptoms. (According to the Department of Health there is no effective post-exposure recommendation to prevent secondary transmission, as well as the post-exposure use of vaccine or immunoglobulin is not effective.)

• Patients are advised to avoid acidic foods and beverages, since these stimulate the salivary glands, which can be painful.
