The mumps virus was first identified as the cause of mumps in 1934 and was first isolated in 1945. Within a few years after isolation, vaccines protecting against MuV infection had been developed. MuV was first recognized as a species in 1971, and it has been given the scientific name Mumps orthorubulavirus .
More than half also have proteinuria (protein in the urine), which in one eighth is severe enough to cause nephrotic syndrome (generalised swelling due to low protein content of the blood). While abnormalities on urinalysis may continue for a long time, only 1% of all HSP patients develop chronic kidney disease . [ 8 ]
In the Fall of 1972, many MUMPS users attended a conference in Boston which standardized the then-fractured language, and created the MUMPS Users Group and MUMPS Development Committee (MDC) to do so. These efforts proved successful; a standard was complete by 1974, and was approved, on September 15, 1977, as ANSI standard, X11.1-1977.
When diagnosed and treated with antitubercular medications, the gland may return to normal in 1–3 months. [2] Acute viral parotitis (mumps): The most common viral cause of parotitis is mumps. Routine vaccinations have dropped the incidence of mumps to a very low level. Mumps resolves on its own in about ten days.
Polymorphous light eruption (PLE) presents with itchy red small bumps on sun-exposed skin, particularly face, neck, forearms and legs.

Males are affected with cSCC at a ratio of 3:1 in comparison to females. [25] Those who have light skin, red or blonde hair and light colored eyes are also at increased risk. [25] Squamous-cell carcinoma of the skin can be found on all areas of the body but is most common on frequently sun-exposed areas, such as the face, legs and arms. [68]
[3] [1] Dermatomyositis is an autoimmune disorder featuring both humoral and T-cell autoimmune processes. [3] Dermatomyositis may develop as a paraneoplastic syndrome associated with several forms of malignancy. [4] It is known to be associated with several viruses, especially coxsackievirus, but no definitive causal link has been found. [3]
Unless the individual has an impaired immune system, e.g., owing to HIV or cancer-related immune suppression, [22] recurrent infections tend to be mild in nature and may be brought on by stress, sun, menstrual periods, trauma or physical stress. [23] Mumps of the salivary glands is a viral infection of the parotid glands.
