Authors present the results of an epidemiological prospective study, carried out on a sample of 35981 cases of epidemic parotitis, recorded in the Iasi District, between 1982-2003. The study highlights the fact that epidemic parotitis represents a major health problem, with important medical consequences, unfavourable both because of its morbidity, sometimes epidemics, and because of its complications. Epidemic parotitis was spotted both in the urban and rural area, having an increased incidence during the seasons with low temperature and affecting especially the 5-9-year age group. For lack of vaccination, the epidemiological process of this disease developed naturally.
作者介绍了一项流行病学前瞻性研究的结果，该研究以1982年至2003年在雅西地区记录的35981例流行性腮腺炎病例为样本。该研究强调了这样一个事实，即流行性腮腺炎是一个重大的健康问题，会产生重要的医学后果，无论是因其发病率（有时会引发流行）还是其并发症，都很不利。流行性腮腺炎在城市和农村地区均有发现，在低温季节发病率会升高，尤其影响5至9岁年龄组。由于缺乏疫苗接种，这种疾病的流行过程自然发展。
