INTRODUCTION
Mumps is an infectious ailment caused by an infection that goes starting with one individual then onto the next through spit, nasal discharges, and close individual contact.
The condition essentially influences the salivary organs, additionally called the parotid organs. These organs are in charge of delivering spit. There are three arrangements of salivary organs on each side of your face, situated behind and underneath your ears. The trademark manifestation of mumps is swelling of the salivary organs.
PATHOGEN INVOLVED
Mumps virus is a solitary stranded, negative-sense, encompassed RNA infection and a member from the Paramyxovirus family. The creature is about 150 nm (nanometres) to 300 nm in distance across and has a tube-like,

The most widely recognized mumps transmission technique is through hacking or sniffling, which can spread beads of salivation and bodily fluid tainted with the mumps infection. Transmission of the infection additionally happens when somebody touches a tainted surface and afterward touches the eyes, nose, or mouth.
INCUBAITON PERIOD:
The period between mumps transmission and the start of mumps side effects is known as the "brooding period for mumps." the hatching time frame can be as short as 12 days or as long as 25 days. Amid the early piece of the mumps hatching period, a man isn't infectious. Be that as it may, he or she will end up noticeably infectious from just before parotitis appears to nine days after the beginning of side effects. By and large, the brooding time frame for this ailment is 16 to 18 days, in spite of the fact that this changes for everybody.
GENERAL CARE AND TREATMENT:
Since mumps is an infection, it doesn't react to anti-infection agents or different solutions. Be that as it may, you can treat the manifestations to make yourself more agreeable while you're debilitated. These
Mumps, part of the Paramyxovirus family (Hunt, 2008) and also known as Epidemic parotitis (Medline Plus, n.d.), is a virus that has a worldwide distribution with humans being the only known reservoir (Chamberlain, 2013). Mumps are a viral infection that primarily affects the parotid glands, otherwise known as the salivary glands located below and in front of the ears (Mayo Clinic Staff, n.d.). Although swelling, also known as parotitis, is the most recognized symptom of mumps, it may only occur in
Mumps is a contagious disease caused by a Paramyxovirus virus. Paramyxovirus virus is the important pathogens of humans and are a common cause of respiratory disease in children. Children younger than 15 sometimes adults can get this disease. Older individuals are less likely to have been vaccinated and can still get the sickness as well. Some symptoms of this disease has been, fevers up to 103 degrees fahrenheit, headache muscle aches, weakness and fatigue, loss of appetite, pain when chewing
Mumps Virus Mumps is a paramyxovirus that is closely related to the parainfluenza virus. Its symptoms were first described in the 5th century BC, and it was a very common childhood affliction until the last several decades. It was identified as a virus in 1934, and an effective vaccine was developed in 1967. Mumps is acquired by aerosol, necessitating close human interaction for spread. Human beings are the only known reservoir for mumps virus, and there is only one serotype. Multiplication
The Mumps virus seems to have been around since ancient times. Research says that the virus has been documented or recorded by the Hippocrates in 5th century BCE (Mumps Epidemiology and Prevention of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases). We give credit to Johnson and Goodpasture for helping determine how the virus is spread. This particular virus has been and still is known worldwide but became a reportable disease in the United States in 1968. The history behind the Mumps is not very detailed but
Background: Merck & Co. is an American pharmaceutical company and one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. In 1971 the United States approved the use of an MMR vaccine made by Merck, containing the Jeryl Lynn strain of mumps vaccine. In 1978 Merck introduced the MMR II, using a different strain of the rubella vaccine. In 1997 the FDA required Merck to conduct effectiveness testing of MMRII. Initially it was over 95%; to continue the license; Merck had to convince the FDA that the
Once the rabies disease shows symptoms on the victim it becomes impossible to cure because the disease has already spread through out the entire nervous system. Did Zora Neil Hurston accurately portray the rabies disease in the novel as to real life? Because in the novel Hurston did portray the symptoms accurately. In Their Eyes Were Watching God, Hurston gave Janie's husband, Tea Cake, great characteristics of having contracted the disease. Some of the characteristics that were shown in the novel
Health visitors are registered nurses who undergo extra training to work in the community with families and children under five. The main principles of health visiting are to ensure that children have a healthy and positive start to life by recognising health needs, encouraging health enhancing activities and influencing health policies (Craig and Lindsay, 2000). Health visitors provide the Healthy Child Programme (HCP) which allows all families access to services ranging from immunisations through
have a strong immune system, while a young adult they have the strongest immune system. Therefore, the top 5 childhood illness are chickenpox, croup, diarrhea, measles, and mumps. For each illness there are always prevention care for a child to be healthy. Chickenpox, also known as varicella ;is a highly contagious viral infection causing itchy, blister-like rash one the skin. It usually starts on the chest, back, and face then spreads to the rest of the body. The most characteristic symptom is an itchy
Mumps is a contagious virus that affects the salivary gland which is responsible for producing saliva.This infectious disease can be transmitted from person to person through saliva,coughing and sneezing. Mumps typically affect the parotid gland or salivary gland. This gland can be located behind and below the ear. When they are inflamed they can cause fevers and damage your ears if left untreated. In the United States , mumps were more common around 1945 than today , but vaccination has helped decrease
ignore the fact that disease outbreaks are prevalent and they are occurring all around them every day. I will be addressing both the advantages and disadvantages of one particular vaccination, MMR: measles, mumps,
Virus, Infection, and Pathogens As you begin this course, it is important for you to develop an understanding of a few key terms. These key terms are virus, infection, pathogen, and blood borne pathogen. A thorough understanding of these terms will help you better understand the concepts in subsequent sections of the course. The word virus is derived from the Latin word meaning “poison, slimy liquid, or poison juice. ” Viruses are very small infectious (pathogenic) particles that cannot be seen
antiviral medications. (Anonymous, 2016). Varicella-Zoster Immune Globulin is given to weaken immune system patients and newborns after exposure to Chickenpox. (Alan, 2013). Complications of this disease include bacterial infections of the skin and soft tissues (Streptococcal infections), Pneumonia, Encephalitis, and Sepsis. (NCIRD, 2016) Aspirin cannot be used to treat Chickenpox, both combined can cause Reye’s Syndrome. This syndrome affects the blood, brain and liver of a patient who just recently
diseases and viruses. Getting a vaccine may be much safer to develop antibodies against a virus rather than suffering from the virus. Vaccines may prevent one or more than one viruses and diseases. For example, MMR vaccine may fight against measles, mumps and
in healthcare and community settings. Varicella-zoster and measles are both viral infections, the viruses attach and invade the host cells to replicate and ultimately infect individuals (Lee & Bishop 2013). The diseases can be passed on from one to the other person who are exposed to these viruses without immunity. However, the time course of these two diseases is variable. Measles triggers an acute viral infection and then is self-eliminated (Lee & Bishop 2013), whereas varicella-zoster is persistent
The Disease Yellow Fever Throughout history many different diseases have infected the world. Such diseases consist of measles, mumps, malaria, typhus and yellow fever. Many of these diseases are caused by different things and originated in different countries. Yellow fever is a deadly disease caused by a viral infection that is transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito. Although it is found to be most common in males in their early 20's, yellow fever can affect any sex, race, or
