Abstract
Epidemic parotitis is a highly contagious disease, which is caused by the mumps virus, and its infection sources are mostly patients and carriers. Parotitis is mostly a childhood disease, which mainly occurs in children aged 5–9 years old, and is dominant in school-age children [1]. The disease occurs frequently in winter and spring, which are mainly transmitted through respiratory tract by droplets. The latent period of parotitis is 12–25 days after exposure. The main clinical feature is non-suppurative swelling of parotid gland, which can lead to meningitis, encephalitis, pancreatitis, and hearing loss. The disease may also develop into oophoritis in female patients and orchitis in male patients. Epidemic parotitis, like other childhood diseases, will increase in severity with age. The disease has an acute onset, with fever, headache, muscle soreness, anorexia, etc. The parotid gland swells after several hours to 1–2 days, lasting for about 10 days and then resolves spontaneously.
