Dr. Dharm Patel, Dr. Jignesh Dave, Dr. Kshitija Kamble

Abstract: Mumps is a relatively mild short - term viral infection of the salivary glands that usually occurs during childhood. Meningitis/encephalitis is a well - known complication of mumps, but involvement and infection of the testis in adolescent boys and adult men are rare. We report a case of an 22 - year - old male patient with mumps associated epididymo - orchitis on the right side. The diagnosis was confirmed clinically and serologically by IgG and IgM titers. The symptoms were resolved after the administration of anti - inflammatory and pain medications with bed rest and ice packs applied to the area.
