Mumps is an acute viral illness that causes swelling of the salivary glands, usually the parotid glands. The disease shares similar features with measles and rubella as the causative agents of all three illnesses belong to the same family of viruses. Mumps is usually a benign, self-limiting disease, but in areas where there is no vaccination against it, it can cause severe complications. Immunization against mumps was first introduced in the United States in 1967.
