Abstract

Objective: To describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of mumps and investigate factors associated with complications of mumps in children. Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted. All pediatric patients diagnosed with mumps were included from August 1, 2013, to July 30, 2017. Clinical symptoms, laboratory findings, and complications were collected for analysis. Results: Among 208 pediatric patients with mumps, 74 patients had complications, while 134 patients did not. The disease was most common in the 6–12 age group (mean age: 6.63 ± 3.66 years), with a male predominance. The main clinical symptoms were parotid gland swelling (100%) and fever (90.5%). The disease occurred primarily in winter, with the most common complication being orchitis (47.3%), followed by meningitis (28.4%), encephalitis (23%), and oophoritis (1.4%). Age and amylase levels were identified as independent factors associated with mumps complications. Conclusion: The most frequent symptoms in mumps patients with complications were parotid gland swelling and fever. Age and amylase levels were independent factors associated with mumps complications.
