  • Virology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • The measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine has significantly reduced mumps incidence.
  • Recent mumps outbreaks underscore the importance of recognizing clinical signs.

Observation:

  • A 50-year-old man presented with severe encephalitis.
  • The encephalitis was diagnosed as mumps virus-related.

Findings:

  • Mumps virus can cause severe neurological complications, including encephalitis, in adults.
  • Early identification and isolation of mumps patients are crucial for disease control.

Implications:

  • This case emphasizes the need for continued vigilance and prompt diagnosis of mumps, even in vaccinated populations.
