Mumps is a vaccine-preventable viral infection characterized by fever and inflammation of the salivary glands and whose complications include orchitis, deafness, and meningo-encephalitis. In August 2009, CDC was notified of the onset of an outbreak of mumps in a summer camp in Sullivan County, New York. The outbreak has spread and gradually increased in size and is now the largest U.S. mumps outbreak since 2006, when the United States experienced a resurgence of mumps with 6,584 reported cases. On August 18, public health departments in Sullivan County, New York state, and CDC began an investigation into the mumps outbreak, later joined by departments in New York City and other locales. As of October 30, a total of 179 confirmed or probable cases had been identified from multiple locations in New York and New Jersey, and an additional 15 cases had been reported from Canada. The outbreak primarily has affected members of a tradition-observant religious community; median age of the patients is 14 years, and 83% are male. Three persons have been hospitalized. Although little transmission has occurred outside the Jewish community, mumps can spread rapidly in congregate settings such as colleges and schools; therefore, public health officials and clinicians should heighten surveillance for mumps and ensure that children and adults are appropriately vaccinated.
腮腺炎是一种可通过疫苗预防的病毒感染，其特征为发热和唾液腺炎症，并发症包括睾丸炎、耳聋和脑膜脑炎。2009年8月，美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）接到通知，纽约州沙利文县一个夏令营出现腮腺炎疫情。疫情已蔓延且规模逐渐扩大，现已成为2006年以来美国最大的腮腺炎疫情，2006年美国腮腺炎疫情复发，报告病例达6584例。8月18日，纽约州沙利文县公共卫生部门、纽约州公共卫生部门和CDC对腮腺炎疫情展开调查，纽约市及其他地区的部门随后加入。截至10月30日，纽约和新泽西多个地点共确诊或疑似179例病例，加拿大报告了另外15例。此次疫情主要影响一个遵循传统的宗教社区成员；患者中位年龄为14岁，83%为男性。3人已住院。尽管犹太社区外传播很少，但腮腺炎在大学和学校等聚集场所可迅速传播；因此，公共卫生官员和临床医生应加强对腮腺炎的监测，并确保儿童和成人得到适当接种。
