Mumps in adults. Symptoms and Treatment, photo what a pig disease is transmitted, clinical guidelines

Mumps in adults is rare, but it is important to know the symptoms to timely diagnose the disease and start appropriate treatment. In everyday life the disease is called "pig" and is an acute viral infection that attacks the bodies with glands (pancreas, ovary, testes and salivary glands).

Paramyxovirus can cause damage to the central nervous system. Mumps is considered an easy childhood disease, is transmitted from the patient when sneezing, coughing and talking. You can become infected within a few days prior to the visible manifestations of the disease, and 10 days after initial infection.

Adults rarely infected, but the risk of infection is always. Mumps is not for the life of the patient's serious, but faces complications because of illness treatment and vaccination are paying a lot of attention.

types of pigs

The medicine is not developed a unified table of clinical forms of the disease. Most popular following classification.

manifest forms	Inapparatnaya form	residual disorder
uncomplicated	testicular atrophy
complicated	Infertility
According to the severity of the disease	Lungs	Diabetes
moderate	Deafness
severe	Disruption of the central nervous system

Uncomplicated form hit a salivary gland. With the defeat, in addition, other organs of the disease is considered complicated. Inapparatnaya infection occurs without visible symptoms. Residual effects persist after treatment for a long time, sometimes for life.

Mumps in adults (symptoms and treatment are no different from the disease in children) characterized by fever, beginning in the early days of the disease, and lasting up to 7-9 days. In the second or even the first day fever begins and continues until 7 days.

Area painful glands, and its defeat is causing the pain. It can be centered in front of the ear lobe or behind. Skin shiny and swollen. Often, the tumor spreads to the neck. It holds 3 days, and then begins to decline, and within a week, a maximum of 10 days, everything comes back to normal. Deaths during mumps are rare, but possibly offensive infertility or deafness.

Stage and grade pigs

Mumps in adults (symptoms and treatment of infection of various glands) is manifested in different ways and it is necessary to bear in mind to identify the symptoms.

Salivary glands

Inflammation of the salivary gland gave the name of mumps disease. The infection can affect one or both of the gland. Perhaps the development of the disease on the one hand and the gradual transition to the second side. This is the most frequent manifestation of the disease. Sublingual and submandibular region are affected less frequently. This embodiment relates to a disease characterized by an uncomplicated and typical symptoms.

infection of the testicles

The most serious complication of mumps is a failure of the testes. Disease prone men, not done as a child vaccinated against mumps. Among children and adolescents disease is rare. First affects the salivary glands, and a week later, when the state must come relief comes deterioration of health, there are new symptoms.

The disease is manifested by inflammation of 1 or 2 testis or epididymis. If immediately comes orchitis, or epidermis, without affecting the salivary glands, the diagnosis of disease causes difficulty. Orchitis may be unilateral, affecting one egg or double-sided. Symptoms of the disease last for 9 to 10 days, then fade away.

Pancreas acid

Mumps in adults (symptoms and treatment of lesions of the pancreas) have been little studied by specialists, since it is a rare disease occurs a maximum 3% of patients. Maybe it's the lack of diagnosis.

The disease can cause serious complications: the violation of the body and the changes in its structure.

Often at the same time developing pancreatitis, which worsens the situation and require treatment in a hospital. Affected people have a threat of irreversible changes in the pancreas stops producing insulin. The patient gets another disease - type 1 diabetes.

Diseases of other organs

Mumps rarely affects other organs. But serous meningitis mumps in adults face fatal and time to identify the symptoms and prescribe treatment is very important. If it affects the brain and spinal cord occurs serous meningitis. The occurrence of this complication is characterized by a decrease in the swelling of the parotid gland with the deterioration of the general condition.

Symptoms of the disease:

• sleepy and sluggish state;
• vomiting;
• temperature rise;
• headache;
• weakness.

When the symptoms of the patient urgently admitted to hospital in the infectious disease clinic. A week later, the disease pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) may occur.

Complications accompany nausea and vomiting, fever, abdominal pain and left hypochondrium, diarrhea in young children and constipation in adults. Polinevropatiicheskie symptoms are severe pain and impaired neurological character facial expressions, hearing loss, and paralysis of the lower limbs.

symptoms of mumps

When infected in the first days of symptoms may be absent, is the incubation period of 9 - 26 days. At this time, the virus is growing and multiplying. After reaching the maximum, the agent penetrates into blood vessels. After that, there are the first signs of the disease. Most cases of mumps disease characterized by a sharp increase in temperature without the headache, chills and weakness.

The main symptom - a tumor in the salivary glands with a feeling of intense pain. Face in the cheek area swells, it becomes difficult to chew, mouth appears dry. In the next stage affects the nervous system, the girls develop oophoritis (ovarian disease), boys - orchitis (testicular inflammation).

Without the complications of the disease state is observed for three days, and then decreases. Gradually subside edema, which only occasionally stored up to 2 weeks. Most often it happens in adults. They temperature rises to 38 ° C and kept the entire period of disease.

Causes of mumps

Mumps is caused by a virus and can cause epidemics, quickly spreading around. The sources of infection are sick and symptomatic inapparatnymi kinds of pig people. The infection is spread people around by airborne droplets and through dirty items. Infection of the body goes through the respiratory tract.

Through the blood pathogen enters the salivary gland. It is symptomatic mumps without complications.

Complicated form faces defeat of various organs and the emergence of diseases:

• pancreatitis;
• nephritis;
• mastitis;
• arthritis;
• myocarditis;
• meningitis.

The man had been ill mumps, appears immune to the disease. If the infection occurs again, the disease occurs in inapparatnoy form, the symptoms of which is not always possible to define precisely, but complications in these cases is not seen. The appearance of complications of mumps threatens the emergence of residual effects: infertility, deafness and diabetes.

diagnosis of mumps

Mumps in adults (symptoms and symptomatic treatment of uncomplicated forms of the disease) difficulty rarely cause: their specific manifestations and disease is difficult to confuse with other health problems.

Help confirm the diagnosis of serological tests:

• linked immunosorbent assay;
• check on the reaction of complement ligament.

The survey sent to patients with a clinical picture; people, contact with patients; open vaccinated 40 days before the test and in diseases with pancreatitis, orchitis, meningitis. On the differential diagnosis of sending patients whose symptoms have a similarity with the mumps.

EP detect the virus will etiologic diagnosis. For the study take different materials: blood serum, urine, saliva, nasal washings with. In the laboratory methods used comparative characteristics. This is a mandatory standard procedure used to determine the epidemiological threshold.

During the examination, take into account that the complement-AT are found on the second - the fifth day from the beginning of the disease and can be kept in the serum for a long time. This facilitates diagnosis at any stage of the disease. Specific ELISA diagnostic method is highly sensitive and is used to determine all grades AT.

The virus can be detected after 3 days, whereas in the standard survey methods need at least a week. Taking the blood from the patient for analysis of white blood cells in different cultures was isolated pathogen EPO. Find the virus from nasopharyngeal swabs help, urine and saliva, secretions of the parotid gland, and spinal fluid.

Intradermal allergen sample is also used for diagnostics. A positive result is evidence of previous myocardial mumps. Can be screened in any diagnostic center or lab. Cost of services depends on the city and health facilities, but it is readily available for patients with an average of 1,000 rubles.
