Overview

Mumps or epidemic parotitis is a highly contagious human viral disease that leads to painful swelling of the salivary glands. Mumps is spread through direct contact with an infected person. Symptoms include fever, glandular swelling, headache, sore throat, and orchitis. As disease, mumps is self-limiting, and the general outcome is good, even if other organs are involved.
