As the 2019 coronavirus pandemic has unfolded, an increasing number of atypical presentations of COVID-19 have been reported. As patients with COVID-19 often present to emergency departments for initial care, it is important that emergency clinicians are familiar with these atypical presentations in order to prevent disease transmission. We present a case of a 21-year-old woman diagnosed in our ED with COVID-19 associated parotitis and review the epidemiology and management of parotitis. We discuss the importance of considering COVID-19 in the differential of parotitis and other viral-associated syndromes and emphasize the importance of donning personal protective equipment during the initial evaluation.

En las meningoencefalitis de etiología viral se encuentran implicados los paramixovirus (virus de la parotiditis, sarampión y rubeola). Las vacunas combinadas trivalentes han sido utilizadas durante años en muchos países. El objetivo del trabajo es determinar la respuesta poliespecífica de anticuerpos de tipo IgG anti parotiditis, rubeola y sarampión en pacientes pediátricos con meningoencefalitis víricas agudas. Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo en el año 2018 en muestras de pacientes pediátricos con meningoencefalitis viral aguda vacunados con la triple viral, donde se utilizó el índice de anticuerpos específicos anti-parotiditis, anti-rubeola y anti-sarampión para identificar el estado de respuesta inmunológica contra dichos virus en la muestra estudiada, procedentes de la serorraquioteca de LABCEL. Las determinaciones se hicieron por ELISA. Todos los pacientes presentaron respuesta poliespecífica intratecal, disminución significativa del índice de anticuerpos IgG anti-parotiditis con respecto a la edad y al tiempo de respuesta. Se evidencia un acortamiento del tiempo de respuesta de los anticuerpos de tipo IgG específicos anti-parotiditis en relación a la edad de vacunación(AU)


Paramixovirus like mumps, rubella and measles are involved in some viral meningoencephalitis. Triple combined vaccines have been employed for several years in many countries. The aim of this work is to determine the IgG anti mumps, rubella and measles polyspecific response in pediatric patients with acute viral meningoencephalitis. A 2018 retrospective study in pediatric patients with acute viral meningoencephalitis previously vaccinated with the triple viral vaccine MMR was performed to identify the immune response status against mumps, rubella and measles in samples from LABCEL serum and cerebrospinal fluid collection. Quantification of IgG specific antibody was performed by ELISA. Intrathecal polyspecific response was present in all patients. A significant decrement of anti IgG mumps specific antibody index was observed according to age and response time. A shortage of the response time of IgG mumps specific antibodies according to the age of vaccination was demonstrated(AU)

La parotiditis epidémica (fiebre urliana) es una infección viral cuyo único huésped natural es el ser humano. La enfermedad es en general, benigna y autolimitada y un tercio de las personas afectadas tiene una infección subclínica. Puede producir una infección más grave en individuos que han pasado la pubertad que en los niños. Debido a que el diagnóstico de parotiditis es clínico en un 99%, algunos de los casos podrían corresponder a una etiología diferente a la urliana (enterovirus, Epstein Barr, virus Parainfluenza y Adenovirus). Se estima que el esquema de 2 dosis de vacuna triple viral tiene una efectividad de 88% (rango: 66-95%) en la prevención de enfermedad.Se analizaron casos de parotiditis, confirmados o sospechosos, notificados por el Hospital Piñero de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires y/o CeSAC del Área Programática. La fuente de información utilizada fue el SNVS (Módulo C2). Para los estudios etiológicos, se analizó el registro del laboratorio central del Hospital. (AU) .

INTRODUCCIÓN: Tras la consolidación de los programas de vacunación, los brotes de parotiditis siguen ocurriendo. En diciembre de 2011 se produjo en Zaragoza un brote escolar de parotiditis. OBJETIVO: Describir el brote y calcular la efectividad vacunal. MÉTODO: Definición de caso: persona con inflamación de parótida/s u otras glándulas salivares de más de 2 días sin otras causas aparentes. Población de referencia: Persona perteneciente al Instituto de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria Parque Goya o con origen de la cadena de transmisión en el instituto. Periodo del brote: Desde 2 días antes del inicio de síntomas del primer caso hasta 5 días después del inicio del último caso. Se recogieron muestras para confirmación del virus (IgM, cultivo de orina y de exudado orofaríngeo) y los virus aislados fueron genotipados. Se realizó un estudio de cohortes retrospectivo en 2 aulas del instituto para el cálculo de la efectividad vacunal. Se implantó vigilancia activa, aislamiento de los casos y recomendación de vacunación a contactos susceptibles. RESULTADOS: Hubo 27 casos. El 77,8% estaban vacunados con 2 dosis de triple vírica. El 44% fueron confirmados microbiológicamente. Se determinó el genotipo G1 en 6 casos. Según el estudio de cohortes, la efectividad vacunal para una dosis fue del 34%, (IC 95%: −44 a 70) y para 2, del 67% (IC 95%: 28 a 83). CONCLUSIONES: La efectividad vacunal se encuentra por debajo de lo esperado. La detección precoz y el aislamiento de los casos son fundamentales para prevenir nuevos casos en el ámbito escolar


INTRODUCTION: Mumps outbreaks continue to occur, even after the consolidation of vaccination programs. An outbreak of mumps occurred in a high school in Zaragoza during December 2011. OBJECTIVE: To describe the outbreak and estimate vaccine effectiveness. METHODS: Case definition: unilateral or bilateral swelling of the parotid or other salivary glands for three or more days without any other apparent cause. Reference population: People attending the 'Parque Goya' High School or with transmission chain origin in the High School. Outbreak period: From two days before the onset of symptoms of the first case to five days after the last case. Samples were collected for virus confirmation (IgM, urine culture and oropharyngeal exudate), and isolates were processed for genotyping. A retrospective cohort study was performed in two high school classrooms to estimate vaccine efficacy. Public health authorities conducted active surveillance, isolation of cases, and vaccination of susceptible contacts. RESULTS: There were 27 cases. Twenty-one (77.8%) were vaccinated with two doses of Measles-Mumps-Rubella vaccine. Twelve (44%) were confirmed microbiologically. G1 genotype was determined in six cases. According to the cohort study, vaccine efficacy for one dose was 34% (95% CI: −44 to 70), and was 67% (95% CI: 28 to 83) for two doses. CONCLUSIONS: Vaccine effectiveness was lower than expected. Early detection and isolation of cases have been instrumental in preventing new cases in schools

AIM: Monitoring of post-vaccinal complications in children immunized with a parotitis vaccine. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Observation of 198 945 children, immunized with 16 lots of parotitis vaccine with Leningrad-3 strain (L-3), was carried out for 3 years. Paired samples of sera and saliva were obtained from children, in whom adverse events were registered for 42 days after vaccination. Titers of specific IgM and IgG were determined in blood sera. Analysis of nucleotide sequences of genes F, SH and NH of RNA of parotitis virus was carried out from samples of blood and saliva. RESULTS: Intensive parameter of vaccine-associated aseptic meningitis under the conditions of the experiments was 0 for 100 000 immunized. Frequency of occurrence of post-vaccinal parotitis was 0.06% from the number of vaccinated--18 cases of vaccine-associated parotitis were registered and laboratory confirmed. A significant difference in specific activity was detected for 3 lots of the vaccine, that were associated with cases of development of parotitis, relative to that of 13 lots of vaccine, development of parotitis was not registered after administration of those. CONCLUSION: The study carried out confirmed low neurovirulence of the parotitis vaccine with the L-3 strain of parotitis virus, as well as a low degree of its reactogenicity. A relatively high immunization dose of the used vaccine could be one of the reasons of development of post-vaccinal complications in part of the immunized children.

Buccal mucosal cancer is commonly seen in India with patients presenting in advanced stages of the disease. Its excision commonly mandates division of parotid duct as a part of disease or its margin. We have adopted a simple method to salvage the parotid gland by cannulating the duct and rerouting the saliva into the oral cavity at a different site. This has now become a protocol at our center. A total of 562 patients from 2002 to 2012 have undergone this procedure. This has markedly reduced the incidence of sialocele and parotitis in early postoperative period, which may delay wound healing and subsequent radiotherapy.

La inmunoepidemiología se ha convertido en imprescindible en el sistema de vigilancia moderno de salud, en la evaluación de los programas de vacunación, en la definición de la inmunidad poblacional y en su papel en la prevención de enfermedades. Este estudio describe el comportamiento en la provincia de Las Tunas de la vigilancia inmunoepidemiológica de cinco enfermedades prevenibles: sarampión, rubéola, parotiditis, poliomielitis y tos ferina. La investigación cubrió el periodo desde el año 2010 hasta el 2013. Los resultados muestran la eficacia de las vacunas empleadas, sin ningún caso positivo registrado y avalan a la vigilancia inmunoepidemiológica establecida desde la atención primaria de salud hasta la red de higiene y epidemiología del municipio, la provincia y la nación. Este sistema es necesario para evaluar con antelación posibles riesgos de enfermedades y la decisión oportuna de medidas de intervención (AU)


Immuno-epidemiology has become essential for the modern health surveillance system in the assessment of the vaccination programs, in the definition of the population´s immunity and its role in illness prevention. This study describes de behavior of immuno-epidemiology surveillance of five illnesses in Las Tunas: measles, rubella, parotitis, poliomyelitis and pertussis. The investigation was made from 2012 to 2013. The results show the efficiency of the vaccines used, with no recorded positive cases and support the surveillance carried out from the primary health attention services to the hygiene and epidemiology network of the municipality, province and nation respectively. It is concluded that the system is necessary for assessing possible risks of illness and the convenient decision of intervention measures in advance(AU)

Measles, rubella, mumps and chicken pox are highly contagious viral infectious diseases that may cause potentially serious complications, in particular in immunocompromised patients, newborns and pregnant women. In Italy, vaccine coverage remains sub-optimal and outbreaks continue to occur with heavy impact on public health. Immunization is one of the most beneficial available public health measures to prevent serious illness, severe complications, disabling sequelae and deaths. Attenuated live virus vaccines have been commercially available since the '90s and their efficacy, safety and favourable cost-benefit ratio have been extensively documented.

BACKGROUND: Nosocomial transmission of varicella-zoster virus, certain paramixovirus and rubivirus might pose a risk of morbidity for varicella (V), rubella (R), mumps (Mu) and measles (Me) in health care workers (HCW), patients and coworkers. International literature and European legislation recommend preventive interventions to minimize the risk. METHODS: A literature review and a seroprevalence study were carried out in 9 hospitals located in north and central Italy, in order to evaluate risk assessment, health surveillance and fitness for work of HCW exposed to V, R, Mu and Me. Antibodies (Ab) against V, R, Mu and Me were determined. For a subgroup of 4 hospitals; sociodemographic, occupational data and sera were collected and analyzed. RESULTS: About 36000 tests on about 9000 HCW were analyzed. Differences in seroprevalence ratios (V 85.7-95.1%, R 47-96.8%, Me 71.4-97.8%, Mu 52.5-87.6%) were detected. In a subgroup, a relevant number of non immune HCW was also found among women infertile age and areas at higher risk. Statistically significant differences were detected only for selected variables and viruses. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: Data of multicenter study confirm literature evidences and allow to define good medical practices for manage and minimize the risk of nosocomial transmission of V, R, Me and Mu. Recommendation are issued about serologic screening on HCW exposed to all 4 viruses thorough the modern analytical techniques, in order to assess risk on individual a group basis and to select priorities for intervention. Vaccination should be prescribed for those HCW non immune, selecting areas and HCW according to priorities.

OBJECTIVE: To define the influence of cholecystokinin and melatonin on the inflammatory response of the lipopolysaccharide-exposed rat parotid gland. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Bacterial lipopolysaccharide was infused retrogradely into the parotid duct. The degree of inflammation three hours postadministration was estimated from the activity of myeloperoxidase, reflecting glandular neutrophil infiltration. RESULTS: The myeloperoxidase activity of the lipopolysaccharide-exposed gland was 10-fold greater than that of the contralateral gland. Combined with sulphated cholecystokinin-8 (10 or 25 µg kg(-1) , given twice intraperitoneally) or melatonin (10 or 25 mg kg(-1) x 2) the lipopolysaccharide-induced response was elevated 4.6- and 3.5-folds at the most. The cholecystokinin-A receptor antagonist lorglumide reduced the inhibitory effect of cholecystokinin-8, while the melatonin 2-preferring receptor antagonist luzindole had no effect on the melatonin-induced inhibition. Unselective nitric oxide-synthase inhibition abolished the increase in myeloperoxidase activity, whereas inhibition of inducible or neuronal nitric oxide-synthase (of non-nervous origin) halved the inflammatory response. CONCLUSION: Some hormones may contribute to anti-inflammatory action in salivary glands in physiological conditions. They are potential pharmacological tools for treating gland inflammation. The inflammation, as judged from the myeloperoxidase activity, was entirely dependent on nitric oxide-synthase activity, indicating that the hormones directly or indirectly reduced the generation of nitric oxide.

Las vacunas constituyen una de las medidas másefectivas en la lucha contra las enfermedades transmisibles.La utilización de las mismas de forma sistemáticapermite el control e incluso la erradicaciónde algunas de estas enfermedades.Uno de los objetivos de la Organización Mundialde la Salud es la erradicación del sarampión en 3 desus regiones entre las que se incluye la europea. Comoconsecuencia de lo anterior, se han desarrolladoplanes de actuación específicos en nuestro pais queincluyen entre sus estrategias la de alcanzar una altacobertura vacunal. La vacuna del sarampión está incluidaen el calendario vacunal en nuestro país desde1981, administrándose de forma conjunta a las dela rubéola y la parotiditis en forma de vacuna trivalente.Esta vacuna se obtiene mediante cultivo del virusen fibroblastos de embrión de pollo. La posibilidadde desarrollar una reacción anafiláctica tras suadministración en niños alérgicos al huevo aceleró eldesarrollo de otras vacunas desarrolladas en célulasdiploides humanas que se han venido utilizando ensustitución de la TV tradicional. Sin embargo, el ceseen la producción de una de ellas y la falta de disponibilidadde la otra, que además no incluye cepas delvirus de la parotiditis, ha supuesto el resurgir de lacontroversia en torno a la utilización de esta vacunaen caso de alergia al huevo


Vaccines are one of the most powerfull tools availablein the battle against infectious agents. The useof systematic vaccinnation allows both the controland erradication of some infectious diseases.As a primary target, regional measles eliminationinitiatives have been stablished in three of the WHOregions, being the European Region one of them.Therefore, specific actuation plans are being developedin our country, these national plans include intheir strategy to obtain a high coverage inmunization.In our country, since 1981, measles vaccine isincluded in the vaccine schedule, wich is simultaneouslydelivered with rubella and mumps vaccine(MMR). Measles virus used in the MMR is grown incultures of fibroblasts from chicken embryos. Therisk of anaphylaxis in egg allergic individuals aftervaccination promoted the research of two vaccinesgrown in diploid human cells (Triviraten and Moruviraten).These vaccines have been administrated toegg allergic patients in the last years in substitutionof traditional MMR. Taking into account that triviratenworld wide production has ceased and that moruviratennot only run out of stocks but also doesn`tinclude mumps vaccine, the controversial about theuse of MMR in egg allergic individuals has reappeared

INTRODUCTION: Parotiditis is a viral infection that produces a non-suppurative inflammation of the parotid glands, although it may affect other salivary glands, the testicles, meninges and the pancreas. Clinical meningitis appears in 1-10% of cases, normally between the 4th and the 10th day after infection of the parotid glands. In this study, we analyse the clinical and analytic characteristics of the patients admitted to our Neurology Department over the last 12 years. CASE REPORTS: A retrospective study was conducted by analysing the hospital discharge reports. The eligibility criterion was the existence of an acute meningeal syndrome linked to the presence of positive IgM titres for the parotiditis virus. In all, 13 cases were found, with a mean age of 16.5 years, and most of them were males (92.3%). Parotiditis preceded meningitis in all our patients with an average of 8.3 days, while orchiepididymitis, when it occurred, appeared at the same time or after meningitis. Analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid showed a lymphocyte profile with glycorrhachia above 40%, except in two cases that showed a non-persistent neutrophilic profile. There was a transient 30.7% reduction in prothrombin time in the patients. No sequelae were observed. CONCLUSIONS: Vaccination campaigns have drastically reduced the number of cases of meningitis due to this germ since the second half of the 90s. This virus must be borne in mind in cases of meningitis in young males who come from underdeveloped countries.

Introducción. La parotiditis es una infección vírica que produce inflamación no supurada de las parótidas, aunque puede afectar a otras glándulas salivares, los testículos, las meninges y el páncreas. La meningitis clínica aparece en el 1-10% de los casos, normalmente entre el 4.º y el 10.º día de la inflamación parotídea. Se analizan las características clínicas y analíticas de los pacientes con esta meningitis ingresados en nuestro Servicio de Neurología en los últimos 12 años. Casos clínicos. Se ha realizado un estudio retrospectivo analizando los informes de alta. El criterio de inclusión es la existencia de un síndrome meníngeo agudo asociado a la presencia de una valoración positiva IgM frente al virus de la parotiditis. Se han encontrado 13 casos con una media de edad de 16,5 años; la mayoría son varones (92,3%). La parotiditis precede a la meningitis en todos nuestros pacientes en 8,3 días de media, mientras que la orquiepididimitis, cuando aparece, lo hace a la vez que la meningitis o después. El análisis del líquido cefalorraquídeo muestra un perfil linfocitario con glucorraquia por encima del 40%, excepto en dos casos que presentan un perfil neutrofílico no persistente. Existe un descenso transitorio del tiempo de protrombina en el 30,7% de los pacientes. No hemos encontrado secuelas. Conclusiones. Las campañas de vacunación han producido una drástica reducción de las meningitis por este germen a partir de la segunda mitad de los años 90. Se debe tener en cuenta este virus en los casos de meningitis en varones jóvenes procedentes de países subdesarrollados

Se creó un programa a partir de 1988 por las autoridades de salud en Cuba, en el cual se trazó como meta eliminar el sarampión, la rubéola y la parotiditis. Sus bases fundamentales fueron alcanzar coberturas de vacunación superiores a 95 por ciento con la vacuna triple viral (sarampión, rubéola y parotiditis), implantar un sólido sistema de vigilancia seroepidemiológica y lograr medidas de control de foco, con lo cual cesaría la transmisión del virus salvaje productor de estas entidades. Con el fin de conocer el estado inmune de la población a más de 10 años de iniciarse la vacunación con la triple viral, se realizó una encuesta seroepidemiológica a una muestra representativa de la población cubana entre 7 meses y 23 años. Se estudió un total de 1 593 muestras mediante la prueba de inhibición de la hemaglutinación. La prevalencia de anticuerpos detectada fue de 86,75 por ciento para sarampión, 64,72 por ciento para rubéola y 86 por ciento para parotiditis. La inmunidad a los virus del sarampión y rubéola fue menor en el grupo de 6 a 10 años y en el caso de la parotiditis en los niños entre 2 y 5 años. Se sugirió incluir en el programa nacional de vacunación, una segunda dosis de la vacuna triple viral en los niños de 6 años o más, para eliminar la circulación de estos agentes infecciosos en la población(AU)
