Mumps Orchitis: A Rare Case Report

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.
