About Mumps. Mumps is a disease caused by a virus that usually spreads through saliva (spit). It can infect many parts of the body, especially the parotid salivary glands. These glands, which make saliva for the mouth, are found toward the back of each cheek, in the area between the ear and jaw. In cases of mumps, these glands typically swell and become painful.
Painful, swollen testicles can develop in males who have reached puberty and painful, swollen breasts can develop in women. Aseptic meningitis (infection of the covering of the brain and spinal cord) can occur. Some people who get mumps have very mild, or no symptoms.Mumps illness is usually not serious. Severe complications are rare.
