objective: mumps infection is endemic in iran and mumps parotiditis is a common disease in iranian children. there has been a dramatic decrease in the worldwide incidence of mumps since the introduction and use in 1968 of the very effective and inexpensive mumps vaccine. in iran probably due to a higher percentage of unvaccinated young persons material& methods: this descriptive case-series stu...

to determine the frequency of mumps infection in children hospitalized with aseptic meningoencephalitis ( me), as well as its correlation with parotiditis, this case-series study was conducted in the pediatric ward ofrasool akram hospital in tehran, iran, from 1 999 to 2001. t he blood samples of these patients were tested for specific igm antibody for mumps by elisa method. the results of this...

BACKGROUND Since 2009, various mumps outbreaks have occurred in the Netherlands, affecting mostly young adults vaccinated against mumps. In this retrospective study, we estimated attack rates for symptomatic and asymptomatic mumps virus infection based on mumps-specific immunoglobulin (Ig)G concentrations in paired blood samples obtained before and after the mumps outbreaks, collected in 2 univ...

mumps infection is endemic in iran. our objective was to evaluate the presence of anti mumps antibodies ( igm & igg) in cerebrospinal fluid in mumps meningoencephalitic children. a prospective/cross-sectional study was performed in tehran, iran (2003 to 2004) and serum anti mumps antibodies (igm) were detected (quantitive; elisa) in meningoencephaltis patients. specific anti mumps antibodies (i...

OBJECTIVES This study was performed to investigate the mumps transmission control status and inapparent infection rate among middle and high school students in Daegu City during a mumps outbreak. METHODS Nine schools (two middle schools and seven high schools), which reported a number of mumps cases between 2007 and 2008 were selected for investigation. During March-May 2008, a standard quest...

Meningitis is a common central nervous system (CNS) complication of the mumps, a viral infection, but encephalitis and meningoencephalitis are less common in mumps. We describe magnetic resonance imaging findings of acute mumps meningoencephalitis in a 32-year-old male who showed bilateral hippocampal lesions without preceding parotitis. Although it is rare, hippocampal involvement should be co...

109 Introduction Mumps is a common childhood infection caused by the mumps virus. The hallmark of the infection is swelling of the parotid gland. Aseptic meningitis and encephalitis are common complications of mumps together with orchitis and oophoritis. Other complications include deafness and pancreatitis . Although deafness is a rare complication of mumps, it is still one of the most common ...

PURPOSE Measurement of anti-IgM antibody for mumps enables us to diagnose silent mumps infection. From the viewpoint of prophylactic medicine, we examined the incidence of silent mumps infection in idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) by measurement of anti-mumps IgM antibody. MATERIALS AND METHODS Serum level of anti-mumps IgM antibody was evaluated by EIA method in 69 ISSNH...
