Clinical Information

There is only one serotype of mumps virus that infects humans. Mumps has been recognized since antiquity by virtue of the parotitis, which is often a striking clinical feature of the disease. Generally, a trivial childhood illness, the varied presentation of mumps reflects the widespread invasion of visceral organs and central nervous system that commonly follows infection with mumps virus.
