2. INTRODUCTION
• Mumps is a contagious disease caused by a virus
(RNA virus it is a type of paramyxovirus)
• In most parts of the world, the annual incidence of
mumps in the absence of immunization id in the
range of 100-1000 cases/100,000 population with
epidemic peak every 2-5 years.

3. AGENT FACTORS :
• Agent:The causative agent,
myxovirus paratiditis is the
RNA virus of the
myxovirus family.

4. Source of
infection
COUGHING
SNEEZING

5. • Source of infection: both clinical and subclinical
cases. Mumps spreads easily from person to
person through respiratory droplets (coughing,
sneezing, talking), direct contact with infected
saliva, or sharing items like cups, bottles, or
utensils

6. HOST FACTORS:
• Age & gender: mumps is the most frequent cause
of parotitis in the age group 5-9 years. The disease
more tend to be serious in adults than in children.
• The most infants below the age of 6 months are
immune because of maternal antibodies.

7. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS:
• Mumps is largely an epidemic disease.
• Cases occur throughout the year, but the peak
incidence is in winter and spring.
• Overcrowding area

8. INCUBATION PERIOD:
• The disease is spread mainly by droplet infection
and after direct contact with an infected person.
MODE OF TRANSMISSION:
• Varies from 2-3 weeks, usually 18 days.

9. CLINICAL FEATURES:
• Pain and
swelling in
either one or
both the
parotid glands.

11. • Ear ache on the affected side
• there is pain and stiffness on opening the mouth
• Mumps also affects the testes, pancreas, CNS,
ovaries, etc.
• In severe cases, there may be fever, headache.

12. INVESTIGATION:
A care provider may diagnose mumps based on typical
symptoms and known exposure to mumps. Tests used to look
for the virus and diagnose mumps include:
• A test of a sample from the mouth.
• A blood test that may show an immune system reaction to
the virus.
• A test of a sample of urine.

13. TREATMENT:
There is no specific treatment for mumps. Most people recover
within 3 to 10 days.
Steps you can take to aid recovery and lessen symptoms
include:
• Rest.
• Pain relievers such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen
• A cold or warm cloth for swollen salivary glands.
• A cold cloth or ice pack for swollen testicles.
• Drinking plenty of fluids.
• Isolation

14. COMPLICATIONS:
• Orchitis
• Ovaritis
• Pancreatitis
• Meningo-encephalitis
• Thyroiditis
• Neuritis
• Hepatitis
• Myocarditis

15. Complications of mumps are more likely among people who
aren't vaccinated. They can happen even if a person didn't
have swollen salivary glands.
Complications happen when the virus reaches other tissues in
the body. Complications may include:
• Swollen testicles. This complication, also called orchitis,
causes severe pain. It's more common with a mumps
infection after puberty. A swollen testicle may lead to a
decrease in the size of the testicle and a decline in fertility.

16. • Swollen ovaries. This complication, also caused oophoritis,
causes pain, upset stomach, vomiting and fever. This
complication is more likely after puberty. The condition doesn't
seem to affect fertility.
• Encephalitis. Encephalitis is swelling, called inflammation, in
the brain that may damage tissues. This complication can cause
changes in consciousness, seizures and loss of muscle control.

17. • Meningitis. Meningitis is swelling, or inflammation, of the
membranes around the brain and spinal cord. It may cause
head, fever and neck stiffness. Meningitis related to mumps
rarely causes long-term problems.
• Hearing loss. This complication can happen suddenly or
over time. Hearing usually gets better after the illness.

18. • Pancreatitis. Mumps can cause damage to the pancreas,
called pancreatitis, from swelling. Symptoms may include
pain or tenderness near the stomach, upset stomach,
vomiting and fever.
• Miscarriage. Getting mumps during the first 12 weeks of
pregnancy may increase the risk that a pregnancy will end,
called miscarriage.

19. PREVENTION:
• Vaccination:
• MMR Vaccine 0.5 ml intramuscularly.
