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 increasing incidence of mumps orchitis: a comprehensive review

The epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, treatment options and complications of mump orchitis, as a complication of mumps virus, are reviewed, with particular emphasis on testicular atrophy, subfertility and infertility.

Mumps Virus: Modification of the Identify-Isolate-Inform Tool for Frontline Healthcare Providers

The “Identify-Isolate-Inform” tool is applicable to regions with rare incidences or local outbreaks, especially seen in college students, as well as globally in areas where vaccination is less common, to assist frontline healthcare providers with detecting potential cases and initiating critical actions.

Application of Oral Fluid Assays in Support of Mumps, Rubella and Varicella Control Programs

The main application of oral fluid testing is in those circumstances where blood sampling is deemed not necessary, or is undesirable, and when the documented sensitivity and specificity of the oral fluid assay methodology to be used is considered sufficient for the purpose intended.

Analysis of Mumps Vaccine Failure by Means of Avidity Testing for Mumps Virus-Specific Immunoglobulin G

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.

The results suggest that the majority of cases of mumps in vaccinees are caused by primary VF, defined as either a lack of seroconversion or a Lack of IgG maturity, as based on avidity testing, which supports the hypothesis that sera of low neutralising antibody titre have a limited ability to neutralise heterologous mumps virus strains.
