Information on Mumps
Mumps
Mumps is a contagious disease caused by a virus, the symptoms of which include swelling in the jaw and neck. This eMedTV article provides a detailed look at the mumps virus, including how it is transmitted, symptoms, and treatment options.
Mumps and Pregnancy
As this eMedTV article explains, pregnant women and non-pregnant women have the same symptoms of mumps, and pregnancy does not seem to affect the duration or prognosis of the disease. However, women who are pregnant should avoid the mumps vaccine.
Mumps Cause
The mumps cause is simple -- it's the mumps virus. This segment of the eMedTV archives explains the transmission methods and symptoms that mumps cause, and provides links to more information.
