Overview
Natural History
Viral Parotitis
- Mumps, the viral cause for parotitis, will incubate for 15 to 24 days before symptoms manifest in an infected individual.[1]
- Parotitis will gradually develop over 2-3 days after mumps symptoms manifest, usually remaining for 7 days.[1]
- Parotitis will usually resolve itself without treatment within 10 days of manifestation.[2]
Recurrent parotitis
- Juvenile recurrent parotitis usually manifests in children around 5 years old, but children from 3 months to 16 years old have been reported to begin experiencing symptoms as well.[3]
- Parotitis occurrences usually last between 3 and 7 days, rarely persisting for up to 2-3 weeks at a time.[3]
- Recurrent parotitis is usually self-limited, usually subsiding between the ages 10-15 and resolved by age 22.[3][4]
- More severe cases may not resolve themselves and require more intensive intervention, such as parotidectomy.[5]
Complications
- Complications from parotitis arise from infectious causes, such as viral or bacterial parotitis:
- Parotid abscess: Parotitis resulting from infectious causes can result in abscess formation in the parotid gland.[6]
Prognosis
- Prognosis is good, with the majority of parotitis patients recovering fully with or without symptomatic treatment due to the self-limited nature of the disease.[7]
