Epidemic parotitis mumps, also known as mumps or mumps, is a common respiratory infectious disease among children and adolescents, caused by the mumps virus.

The prominent symptom is non-purulent swelling and pain of the parotid gland. The virus can invade various glandular tissues or the nervous system and almost all organs such as the liver, kidneys, heart, and joints. Therefore, it can often cause symptoms such as meningoencephalitis, orchitis, pancreatitis, mastitis, and oophoritis.
