ABSTRACT
The frequency and extent of cardiac involvement were evaluated in 30 children during the course of mumps infection. Clinical examination, electrocardiographic tracing and laboratory estimation of the specific and sensitive enzyme creatine kinase [CK] and its myocardial CK-MB band were considered. None of the cases showed clinical evidences of cardiac affection. ECG changes suggestive of myocarditis were recorded in 7 patients. The mean total CK and its ios-enzyme CK-MB were significantly higher in mumps cases than controls. The significance of these findings was discussed
