==Overview==
Laboratory testing for mumps virus can be useful, and may include virus isolation from swabs of affected salivary ducts, antigen detection by PCR, and serologic testing for [[IgM|IgM antibody]] or a significant rise in [[IgG|IgG antibody]]. However, there are many important caveats to be aware of when interpreting the results.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.cdc.gov/mumps/lab/qa-lab-test-infect.html | title = Mumps: Lab Testing for Mumps Infection | work = Centers for Disease Control and Prevention | date = 13 April 2010 |  accessdate = 30 October 2011 }}</ref>
==Initial Lab Tests==
====Complete blood count with differential:====
*[[White blood cell|Total WBC count]] may be normal to elevated
*[[Lymphocytosis|Relative lymphocytosis]] may be observed
====Serum studies:====
*Elevated of [[serum amylase]] secondary to the involvment of [[parotid gland]] and suspected [[pancreatitis]] associated with mumps <ref name="pmid499265">{{cite journal |author=Skrha J, Stĕpán J, Sixtová E |title=Amylase isoenzymes in mumps |journal=[[European Journal of Pediatrics]] |volume=132 |issue=2 |pages=99–105 |year=1979 |month=October |pmid=499265 |doi= |url= |accessdate=2012-03-08}}</ref>
*Elevated [[serum lipase]] secondary to [[pancreatitis]]
*Elevated [[C-reactive protein]] may be seen secondary to [[orchitis]]
==Serology==
*Significant rise in [[IgG]] or [[IgM]] antibodies may be helpful to confirm the diagnosis.
*However, laboratory confirmation of mumps in previously vaccinated or previously infected individuals is challenging, and failure to detect [[IgM|mumps IgM]] in previously vaccinated persons has been well documented including the cross reactivity of mumps and parainfluenza viruses.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.cdc.gov/mumps/lab/qa-lab-test-infect.html | title = Mumps: Lab Testing for Mumps Infection | work = Centers for Disease Control and Prevention | date = 13 April 2010 |  accessdate = 30 October 2011 }}</ref>

==Virus Isolation==
*Infected patients remain contagious approximately '''''6 days before the onset of parotitis until about 9 days after the onset of parotitis''''', during which time the virus can be isolated. <ref name="pmid14133666">{{cite journal |author=UTZ JP, HOUK VN, ALLING DW |title=CLINICAL AND LABORATORY STUDIES OF MUMPS |journal=[[The New England Journal of Medicine]] |volume=270 |issue= |pages=1283–6 |year=1964 |month=June |pmid=14133666 |doi=10.1056/NEJM196406112702404 |url=http://www.nejm.org/doi/abs/10.1056/NEJM196406112702404?url_ver=Z39.88-2003&rfr_id=ori:rid:crossref.org&rfr_dat=cr_pub%3dpubmed |accessdate=2012-03-09}}</ref>
*Virus can be isolated in a cell culture inoculated with the virus obtained from swabs of affected salivary ducts, serum or urine.
*Antigen detection by [[PCR|polymerase chain reaction (PCR)]] is reserved for patients with secondary CNS infection.
