Background
- Acute infection of the parotid glands
- Most often caused by paramyxoviruses (e.g. mumps), but should consider influenza[1]; less commonly by parainfluenza, coxsackie, echo, HIV
- Most common in children <15yrs
- Contagious for 9 days after onset of parotid swelling
Complications
- Mastitis, pancreatitis, aseptic meningitis, hearing loss, myocarditis, polyarthritis, hemolytic anemia
Clinical Features
- Prodrome of fever, malaise, headache, myalgias, arthralgias
- Unilateral or bilateral parotid swelling
- Unilateral orchitis (20-30% of male patients)
Differential Diagnosis
Bilateral Parotitis
- Viral infections
- Viral parotitis
- Parainfluenza
- Coxsackie virus
- influenza A
- Epstein-Barr virus
- Adenovirus
- HIV
- Cytomegalovirus
- Bacterial infections
- Noninfectious
- Salivary calculi
- Tumors
- Sarcoidosis
- Sjögren’s syndrome
- Thiazide diuretics
Facial Swelling
- Buccal space infections
- Dental problems
- Canine space infection
- Facial cellulitis
- Herpes zoster
- Masticator space infections
- Maxillofacial trauma
- Neoplasm
- Parapharyngeal space infection
- Salivary gland diagnoses
- Parotitis
- Ranula
- Sialoadenitis
- Sialolithiasis
- Superior vena cava syndrome
Evaluation
- Generally a clinical diagnosis
- May confirm diagnosis with mumps immunoglobulin (IgM and IgG) or PCR (may also be needed by local health department for reporting)
- Testicular ultrasound if concern for orchitis
- Lumbar puncture if concern for associated meningitis/encphalitis
Management
- Supportive care is the mainstay of treatment
Disposition
- Isolated parotitis or orchitis: manage as outpatient
- Systemic complications: admit
- Report to local health department (nationally reportable disease)
