Overview

Suspected mumps involves parotitis, orchitis, or oophoritis unexplained by another diagnosis OR a positive lab result with no mumps clinical symptoms. Probable mumps involves parotitis or other salivary gland swelling lasting at least 2 days, or orchitis or oophoritis unexplained by another more likely diagnosis, in a person with a positive test for serum anti-mumps immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody OR person with epidemiologic linkage to another probable or confirmed case or linkage to a group/community defined by public health during an outbreak of mumps. Confirmed mumps involves positive mumps laboratory confirmation for mumps virus with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or culture in a patient any of the following symptoms: acute parotitis or other salivary gland swelling, lasting at least 2 days, aseptic meningitis, encephalitis, hearing loss, orchitis, oophoritis, mastitis, pancreatitis.

Diagnostic Criteria

In collaboration with the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE), the CDC provides the following case definition for mumps:

Suspected

• Parotitis, acute salivary gland swelling, orchitis, or oophoritis unexplained by another more likely diagnosis

OR

• A positive lab result with no mumps clinical symptoms (with or without epidemiological-linkage to a confirmed or probable case).

Probable

• Acute parotitis or other salivary gland swelling lasting at least 2 days, or orchitis or oophoritis unexplained by another more likely diagnosis, in:

• A person with a positive test for serum anti-mumps immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody

OR

• A person with epidemiologic linkage to another probable or confirmed case or linkage to a group/community defined by public health during an outbreak of mumps.

Confirmed

• A positive mumps laboratory confirmation for mumps virus with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or culture in a patient with an acute illness characterized by any of the following:

• Acute parotitis or other salivary gland swelling, lasting at least 2 days
• Aseptic meningitis
• Encephalitis
• Hearing loss
• Orchitis
• Oophoritis
• Mastitis
• Pancreatitis
