Overview
Where mumps is rare, diagnosis can be challenging since signs and symptoms are non-specific and laboratory evaluation is not straightforward. The CDC defines a clinical case of mumps as "An illness with acute onset of unilateral or bilateral tender, self-limited swelling of the parotid or other salivary gland(s), lasting at least 2 days, and without other apparent cause."[1] Other etiologies of acute parotitis to consider include Epstein-Barr virus, coxsackievirus, influenza A virus, parainfluenza virus, and bacterial pathogens.[2]
