Mumps is a systemic viral illness, preventable by vaccination, that typically affects children and is characterized by unilateral or bilateral swelling of the parotid glands. Uncommon complications such as orchitis, oophoritis, deafness, pancreatitis, aseptic meningitis, and encephalitis occur more often in adults. Recent outbreaks of the disease appear to be caused by a failure to maintain herd immunity in certain populations, particularly in affluent white communities. This article reviews the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and potential complications in patients with mumps.
腮腺炎是一种全身性病毒疾病，可通过接种疫苗预防，通常影响儿童，其特征为腮腺单侧或双侧肿胀。睾丸炎、卵巢炎、耳聋、胰腺炎、无菌性脑膜炎和脑炎等罕见并发症在成人中更为常见。最近的疾病暴发似乎是由于某些人群，特别是富裕的白人社区未能维持群体免疫所致。本文综述了腮腺炎患者的临床表现、诊断及潜在并发症。
