INTRODUCTION Mumps-containing vaccine was licensed in the 1990s in China with a single dose administered routinely to children aged 18-24 months since 2008. However, an increase in reported mumps cases during the period 2009 to 2012 casts doubt on the effectiveness of a single-dose mumps vaccination. In March 2012, large numbers of mumps cases in a day-care centre and primary school in Guangdon...

A population-based study of measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination and autism. QUESTION: Is the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine associated with autism in children? Design Population based cohort study with data obtained by database linkage.

Measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine carries a risk of joint symptoms particularly in children under 5 years. A boy who presented with an inflamed knee after measles and mumps vaccination is reported; synovial fluid aspirated from the joint contained 4.3 x 10(9)/l leucocytes. It is thought that the mumps component is the aetiological cause of acute monoarthritis.

BACKGROUND A recent mumps outbreak in Israel despite an ongoing national program of a 2-dose universal childhood vaccination policy since 1988, raised questions regarding population immunity among young adults. OBJECTIVE To assess the seroprevalence of mumps antibodies among young Israeli adults born after 1987 in order to determine evidence based vaccination policy. METHODS We conducted a ...

This study aimed to detect the age-specific mumps seroprevalence of an unvaccinated population of adolescents in Ankara, Turkey and to compare the prevaccination epidemiology of mumps with those of some other countries. Four hundred and forty adolescents (227 females, 213 males) aged 9 - 16 years who were admitted to the Adolescent Unit were included in this study. For each participant, a quest...

Received October 4, 2002 Abstract There has been long standing concern about the safety of measles-mumps-rubella vaccine in children with history of egg allergy. We review our experience in vaccinating such children in our hospital over a fouryear period. Clinical evidences on the risk of anaphylactic reaction after measles-mumps-rubella vaccination is reviewed. A revised recommendation for the...

OBJECTIVE There is a lack of published information on the management of mumps in a prison setting.

METHODS A case definition of mumps consistent with that in the document "Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Mumps Outbreaks in Canada" was adopted. Cell culture, ...
