Fairly large number of mumps virus infections present atypically without parotitis leading to delay in diagnosis and increased morbidity. Awareness of such presentations and inclusion of serological test for detecting IgM-specific antibodies could help in solving diagnostic dilemma, especially in unvaccinated individuals from developing countries.

La patologia infeciosa bacteriana de la glándula parótida se observa en dos circustancias, una afectando al recién nacido y lactante menor, con caracterisiticas d proceso agudo localizado a la parótida o formando parte de un cuadro de sepsis; otra es la que se observa en la parotiditis recurrente, cuya etiopatogenia todavia se desconoce, siendo el preoceso supurativo, aparentemente, un denómeno secundario. El pronóstico ha mejorado al heberse evitado las complicaciones con el uso de antibioticos, permitiendo la remisión espontánea en la edad puberal.

Mumps is caused by a virus of the paramyxovirus family (also measles and prainfluenza). the virus is spread by airborne droplets through the respiratory tract; mouth; and possibly conjunctivae and urine; and is present in saliva; CSF; blood and urine. Clinical presentation:- . Incubation period is 14-24 days. Onset is with painful swelling of paroid glands; fever; general malaise; and occuasionally headache. Parotid swelling may be unilateral at first; followed a couple of days later by swelling of the opposite paratoid gland; with pain on opening the dry mouth. Mild meningoencephalitis is common; there may be nausea and vomiting; and abdominal pain. Orchitis presents with fever and tender oedematous swelling of the testis. In 10-20of cases the second testicle may be affected. However; infertility is rare. Differential diagnosis of parotitis includes cervical adenitis; pyogenic parotitis; recurrent parotitis; tumours of the parotid and tooth infections. Mumps orchitis can mimic hernias; tumours; haematomas; epididymo-orchitis and testicular torsion. Complications:- Complications include oophoritis; mastitits; pancreatitis; nephritis; myocarditis; thyroiditis; labyrinthine disturbance; painful swelling of the lacrimal glands; optic neuritis; uveeokeratitis; rapid loss of vision; arthritis; jaundice; pneumonia and thrombocytopenia. Transient or permanent unilateral nerve deafness has been reported. Infection during pregnancy very rarely causes disease of the fetus; for example aqueductal stenosis and hydrocephalus. Management: symptomatic treatment includes analgesics; fluids and scrotal support for orchitis. Value of corticosteroids for orchitis is not established. Prevention:- Measles; mumps; rubella (MMR) immunisation is routine in rich countries and has reduced mumps by over 90
