What is Mumps?
Mumps is a contagious paramyxovirus infection best known for painful parotid gland swelling; complications can include orchitis, meningitis and hearing loss.
Spread is by respiratory droplets and saliva and it is vaccine-preventable (MMR). Anti-mumps IgG/IgM serology supports diagnosis and assessment of vaccine-induced immunity.
Transmission & symptoms
Mumps is a contagious paramyxovirus spread by respiratory droplets and saliva. It classically causes parotitis (swollen salivary glands); complications include orchitis, oophoritis, meningitis and, rarely, hearing loss. It is vaccine-preventable with MMR.
Diagnosis & serology
Diagnosis uses anti-mumps IgM and IgG serology by ELISA, supported by RT-PCR of buccal/oral samples. Serum amylase is often elevated with parotitis.
Research applications
Research tools support mumps serodiagnosis, vaccine-induced immunity and waning, and the antiviral interferon response.
