	Need for a specific definition of mumps in a highly immunized population - CCDR Volume 23-02 - Health Canada
		In response to reports of a number of cases of parotitis possibly due to mumps in the greater Quebec City area, the Centre de santé publique de Québec (CSPQ) set up an active surveillance system for parotitis to determine whether an outbreak of mumps was in fact occurring.
		In contrast to the parotitis caused by mumps, non-mumps parotitis occurs primarily in young people (< 20 years of age) who have been vaccinated, and who develop unilateral parotitis: they are unable to identify anyone with similar symptoms among their close contacts (Table 1).
		Overestimation of the number of cases of mumps among immunized individuals on the basis of the surveillance definition is of particular concern especially when efforts are being made to eradicate this disease and the need for a second dose of vaccine (which is justified only by numerous vaccine failures) is under discussion.

	Mumps FAQ
		Nonspecific or primarily respiratory symptoms are the only manifestations of infection in 40%-50% of mumps cases, and particularly cases in children less than 5 years of age.
		The main strategy for controlling a mumps outbreak is to define the at-risk population and setting of transmission, and rapidly to identify and vaccinate susceptible persons or, if a contraindication exists, to exclude susceptible persons from the setting to prevent exposure and transmission.
		Students who have been exempted from mumps vaccine for medical, religious, or other reasons should be excluded through at least 25 days after the onset of parotitis in the last person with mumps in the affected school.
