Overview
Differentiating mumps from other diseases
Mumps must be differentiated from other diseases that cause upper respiratory infection, prodromal symptoms and swelling of salivary glands (sialadenitis), particularly parotitis. Mumps must also be differentiated from diseases that manifest in conditions that are the complications for mumps, including orchitis or oophoritis/mastitis, encephalitis, and meningitis.
