3. What is Mumps?
 Mumps is a viral infectious disease and, usually
attacking saliva producing glands, especially the
Parotid glands, located near the ears leading to
swelling in one or both of these glands.

4. Signs & Symtoms of Mumps
 Primary sign of mumps is swollen
salivary glands that cause the cheeks
to puff out.

5. Signs & Symtoms of Mumps
 Other signs & symtoms may include:
 Pain in swollen salivary glands
 Pain while chewing or swallowing
 Low grade fever
 Headache
 Muscle Ache
 Loss of Appetite
 Weakness & Fatigue

6. Complications
 1. PainfulTesticular Inflammation (Orchitis)
 2. Increased risk of spontaneous abortion
during first stage of trimester.
 3. Encephalitis & Meningitis
 4. Hearing loss (Deafness in extreme cases)
 5. Ovarian Inflammation
 6. Acute Pancreatic Inflammation
(Pancreatitis)
 7. Heart Problems

7. Causes

spherical-shaped, mumps virus
particle that is studded with
glycoprotein tubercles.

8. Mode of Transmission
 Mumps is highly contagious for about nine
days after symptoms appear.
 Saliva from the infected person through
sneezing, coughing (aerolization) or kissing
the non-infected/non-immune/unvaccinated
individual.
 Group gathering at schools, colleges and
universities favours the spreading/outbreaks
of mumps.

9. Diagnosis
 Physical examination confirms the presence of
the swollen glands.
 Usually, the disease is diagnosed on clinical
grounds, and no confirmatory laboratory testing
is needed.
 If uncertainty exists, a test of saliva or blood may
be carried out; a newer diagnostic confirmation,
using real-time nested polymerase chain
reaction technology, has also been developed.
 As with any inflammation of the salivary glands,
the serum level of the enzyme amylase is often
elevated.

10. Prevention
 Vaccination against the disease preferably
two doses of Measles Mumps Rubella (MMR)
Vaccine during:
the ages of 12 and 15 months &
the ages of 4 and 6 years

11. Treatment (Management)
 There's no specific treatment for mumps.
 Rest as much as possible
 Try to ease symptoms with cold compresses
and over-the-counter pain relievers such as
ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) and
acetaminophen (Tylenol, others)
