Study Notes
Mumps Overview
- Mumps is significantly rare in infants under 1 year due to protection provided by maternal antibodies.
- The disease is highly contagious and spreads through respiratory droplets, direct contact with infected individuals, or fomites.
Symptoms and Complications
- Parotitis can occur unilaterally or bilaterally.
- Common complications of mumps include orchitis, along with neurologic issues such as meningitis, encephalitis, and hearing loss.
- Epididymoorchitis is the most prevalent complication arising from mumps infection.
- Noteworthy neurologic complications encompass meningitis, encephalitis, and deafness.
- Less frequent neurologic syndromes linked to mumps are Guillain-Barré syndrome, transverse myelitis, and facial palsy.
Vaccination Information
- Two types of vaccines that include mumps are MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) and MMRV (Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Varicella).
- MMR is administered subcutaneously, and the minimum age for the first dose is 12 months.
- A total of two doses of MMR are recommended, with the second dose usually administered at 4-6 years of age, although it can be given earlier with a minimum interval of 4 weeks between doses.
- MMRV is also administered subcutaneously with the same minimum age requirements.
- The maximum age for receiving the MMR vaccine is 12 years.
- The recommended minimum interval between MMR doses is 3 months; however, a second dose given after 4 weeks is deemed valid.

Mumps Overview
- Mumps is a highly infectious viral disease transmitted through respiratory droplets, direct contact, or fomites.
- Infants under 1 year have reduced incidence of mumps due to maternal antibodies providing protection.
Clinical Features
- Parotitis, or swelling of the parotid glands, can be either unilateral or bilateral.
- Common complications of mumps include orchitis and various neurologic manifestations such as meningitis, encephalitis, and deafness.
- Epididymoorchitis is the most frequent complication following mumps infection.
- Neurologic complications include meningitis, encephalitis, deafness, and rarer syndromes like Guillain-Barré syndrome, transverse myelitis, and facial palsy.
Vaccination Information
- Mumps vaccines include MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) and MMRV (Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Varicella).
- MMR is administered subcutaneously starting at a minimum age of 12 months, with a total of two doses required.
- The second dose of MMR is typically given between 4 to 6 years of age, though it can be administered earlier with a minimum interval of 4 weeks between doses.
MMRV Vaccine
- MMRV is also given subcutaneously and is appropriate for individuals 12 months to 12 years old.
- The recommended minimum interval between MMRV doses is 3 months, with a second dose considered valid if given 4 weeks after the first.
