Overview

Laboratory findings associated with parotitis will vary depending on the cause. Presence of the mumps virus, Staphylococcus aureus, HIV, and extrapulmonary tuberculosis, determined by laboratory testing, are indicative of parotitis causation. Additionally, findings for all causes of parotitis include markers for inflammation as well as elevated white blood cell counts.

Laboratory Findings

A parotitis patient should undergo the following laboratory tests to determine the cause:

Mumps

Bacterial parotitis

HIV

Extrapulmonary tuberculosis
