Mumps is a contagious viral infection spread by bodily fluids that causes uncomfortable symptoms like swelling of the salivary glands, fever, body aches, and fatigue. In some cases, people who contract mumps have no symptoms. Rarely, people will develop serious complications with mumps, including inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report less than 1000 cases annually, thanks to widespread vaccination.
Mumps is caused by the mumps virus, which belongs to a family of viruses known as paramyxoviruses.These viruses are a common source of infection, particularly in children.When you get mumps, the virus moves from your respiratory tract (your nose, mouth and throat) into your parotid glands (saliva-producing glands found either side of your face), where it begins to reproduce. This causes the glands to swell.hese viruses are a common source of infection, particularly in children.
