Overview
Approximately 20-30% cases infected with mumps may remain asymptomatic.[1] Mumps typically starts with a few days of fever, headache, muscle aches, tiredness, and loss of appetite, and is followed by swelling of salivary glands (classically the parotid gland).[2] Painful testicular swelling and rash may also occur.
