Mumps has re‐emerged as an infection in the developed world. Its epidemiology has changed, with the majority of cases now primarily affecting adolescents and adults. While mumps is easily suspected if parotitis is present, parotitis is absent in 10%–30% of symptomatic cases. Mumps is a systemic infection with a variety of extra‐parotid complications. In Australia, mumps diagnosis is confirmed by antibody testing and reverse transcriptase‐polymerase chain reaction techniques. Suitable specimens…

The results showed that secondary mumps vaccine failure occurs not infrequently, even among school age children under condition in which the vaccine coverage is low (i.e., 33% in the study population), and therefore, vaccinees are prone to be exposed to wild-type viruses.
