AB Mumps  is  an  acute,  self-limited,  systemic  viral  illness  typically  characterized  by  parotitis  or  other  salivary  gland  swelling.  Although  mumps  was  once  considered  a  universal  childhood  disease  in  the  United  States,  routine  mumps  vaccination  had  led  to  a  >99%  reduction  in  cases  by  the  early  2000s.  However,  since  2006,  there  has  been  an  increase  in  mumps  cases  in  this  country,  the  majority  among  fully  vaccinated  persons.  Mumps  should  be  suspected  in  all  patients  with  parotitis  or  mumps  complications  (see  “Clinical  Manifestations”),  regardless  of  age,  vaccination  status,  or  travel  history.
