Rubella and mumps virus vaccine live is an active immunizing agent used to prevent infection by the rubella and mumps viruses. It works by causing your body to produce its own protection (antibodies) against the virus. Rubella (also known as German measles) is a serious infection that causes miscarriages, stillbirths, or birth defects in unborn babies when pregnant women get the disease. Mumps is an infection that can cause serious problems, such as encephalitis and meningitis, which affect the brain. In addition, adolescent boys and men are very susceptible to a condition called orchitis, which causes pain and swelling in the testicles and scrotum and, in rare cases, sterility. Also, mumps infection can cause spontaneous abortion in women during the first 3 months of pregnancy. While immunization against rubella and mumps is recommended for all persons 12 months of age and older, it is especially important for women of childbearing age and persons traveling outside the U.S. If rubella and mumps ...

Background: Before the widespread use of vaccine, mumps was the most common cause of viral meningitis (up to 10% of mumps infections). Vaccination programs have resulted in a drop of more than 99% in the number of reported mumps cases in the United States and Canada. Although rare in Canada, outbreaks have recently occurred throughout the world, including a large outbreak in the United Kingdom, where more than 56 000 cases were reported in 2004-2005. Methods: Two recent outbreaks in Nova Scotia were investigated by public health officials. Cases were defined by laboratory confirmation of infection (i.e., isolation of mumps virus by culture) or clinical diagnosis in people epidemiologically linked to a laboratory-confirmed case. The people infected were interviewed to determine possible links and to identify contacts. Mumps virus was cultured from urine and throat specimens, identified via reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and subjected to phylogenetic analysis to identify ...

Mumps virus, together with parainfluenza types 1 through 4, respiratory syncytial virus, and measles virus are classified in the family Paramyxovirdae. Mumps is an acute infection which causes the painful enlargement of the salivary glands in approximately 70% to 90% of children (4-15 years of age) who develop clinical disease. In 5% to 20% of postpubertal individuals, testicular pain (orchitis in males) and abdominal pain (oophoritis in females) can occur. Other complications include pancreatitis (,5% of cases) and central nervous system disease (meningitis/encephalitis) that occur rarely (about 1 in 6,000 cases of mumps).. Widespread routine immunization of infants with attenuated mumps virus has changed the epidemiology of this virus infection. Since 1989, there has been a steady decline in reported mumps cases, with and average of 265 cases each year since 2001. However, a recent outbreak of mumps in 2006 re-emphasized that this virus continued to persist in the population, and laboratory ...

This has prompted the Coeur dAlene Public Schools to issue a mumps alert on Friday:. Coeur dAlene Public Schools strongly encourages our families and staff members to take precautions to prevent the contraction of mumps. Frequent and thorough hand washing, coughing and sneezing into your elbow, staying current on vaccinations, and staying home when sick are all good ways to prevent the spread of disease and illness.. Please be aware that in the event of an official outbreak in any one of our Coeur dAlene Public School facilities, every student, staff, sub and parent volunteer at that location will be required to have a mumps vaccination to enter the building.. In the event of two or more confirmed cases in any one building - which classifies as an official outbreak - students who do not have proof of an MMR vaccination, even if they have a signed exemption, will be excluded from the affected school to protect our students and staff. Idaho Code 33-512-(7) outlines exclusions related to ...

By immunoprecipitation analysis using antisera against oligo peptides synthesized based on the deduced N-terminal and C-terminal amino acid sequences of the SH proteins of the mumps virus, the SH protein was detected in mumps virus-infected cells. The SH protein expressed from cDNA by the vaccinia-T7 expression system was recovered in the membrane fraction. Association of the SH protein with the membrane was resistant to high salt, EDTA, and alkaline treatment but sensitive to detergents. Indirect immunofluorescence experiments showed that the SH protein is involved in the exocytotic pathway. These data indicate that the SH protein is a membrane protein. Treatment of microsomes with TPCK-trypsin suggested that the SH protein is oriented in the membrane with its C-terminal facing the cytoplasm. Furthermore the SH protein was not detected in a particular strain (Enders strain) of mumps virus, indicating that the mumps virus SH protein is not essential for virus replication.

Throat swab specimens were collected from patients and immediately transported on icepacks to the Guangxi CDC. RNA was extracted from original samples and supernatants of Vero/hSLAM-cell cultures (3) by using the Viral RNA Mini Kit (QIAGEN, Valencia, CA, USA). We amplified extracted RNA by using the SuperScript-III Platinum One-Step Reverse Transcription PCR System (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA) and primers for the small hydrophobic (SH) gene and hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) gene as described (4,5). All throat swab specimens were positive for mumps virus by reverse transcription PCR. Mumps virus isolation was achieved for 8 (61.5%) of 13 specimens.. PCR products were sequenced by Life Technologies (Shanghai, China). We performed analyses of nucleotide sequences of SH and HN genes and deduced amino acid sequences by using BioEdit (6) and the neighbor-joining method in MEGA6 software (7). In accordance with World Health Organization mumps virus nomenclature (8), viruses were named and assigned ...

The single-dose measles and mumps vaccines, which Merck discontinued in 2009, were a great option for parents who have religious objections to the rubella vaccine. Since 2009, many of parents have been refusing the entire MMR combination vaccine. With more choices, we can achieve more cooperation.. For those who are curious, some religious objections to the development of the rubella vaccine are described below:. Development of the rubella vaccine actually involved not one, but 28 abortions. Twenty-seven abortions were performed to isolate the virus and one abortion (WI-38) to culture the vaccine. The vaccines strain is called RA 27/3 (R=Rubella, A=Abortus, 27=27th fetus tested, 3=3rd tissue explanted). Rubella, or German measles, is usually a harmless childhood disease. Ironically, rubella is most dangerous for preborn infants, who have a 20 to 25 percent chance of contracting congenital rubella syndrome if their mothers catch rubella during the first trimester. Scientists at the Wistar ...

We currently have a growing cluster of mumps cases in the Halifax area and many of the cases have been connected to social activities, such as parties and going to local bars said Dr. Trevor Arnason, Medical Officer of Health for the Halifax area. Its important that we protect ourselves by not sharing drinks, food, utensils and smoking products.. The mumps virus is found in saliva and discharge from the nose and throat, so kissing, coughing in close quarters and speaking for extended periods in a crowded space can also spread the virus.. We strongly encourage everyone to check their immunization status and ensure theyre up to date with two doses of a mumps-containing vaccine. This is especially important in the 20 to 40 year old age group, as many of these individuals received only a single dose of vaccine and are less likely to have immunity from mumps infection as a child, Arnason said.. There are currently 13 confirmed cases in the Halifax area, with an age range from 20 to 36 years. ...

As a result, they said, Merck was able to produce test results showing that the vaccine was 95 percent effective, even though more accurate tests would have shown a lower success rate. The plaintiffs said these false results kept competitors from trying to produce their own mumps vaccines, since they were unable to match the effectiveness Merck claimed ...

154. As set forth above, in violation of 31 U.S.C. § 3729(a)(2), Merck also knowingly made, used, or caused to be made or used, false records or statements to obtain payment or approval by the government of Mercks false or fraudulent claims for purchases of its mumps vaccine when Merck, among other things: (i) failed to disclose that its mumps vaccine was not as effective as Merck represented, (ii) used improper testing techniques, (iii) manipulated testing methodology, (iv) abandoned undesirable test results, (v) falsified test data, (vi) failed to adequately investigate and report the diminished efficacy of its mumps vaccine, (vii) falsely verified that each manufacturing lot of mumps vaccine would be as effective as identified in the labeling, (viii) falsely certified the accuracy of applications filed with the FDA, (ix) falsely certified compliance with the terms of the CDC purchase contract, (x) engaged in the fraud and concealment described herein for the purpose of illegally ...

Aim: To analyze the reasons for epidemic outbreaks of measles, mumps and viral hepatitis A and to propose measures to prevent them in future. Materials and methods: Тhe incidence of measles, mumps and hepatitis A in Plovdiv region was studied for the period 2006-2010. An analysis of the age structure of the patients was made, while taking into account the time for routine immunization performed against measles and mumps (first and second dose). Results: In 2006-2009 single cases of measles were found occasionally, but in 2010 they were 2787 (incidence 395/100,000). Most of them (51%) were for ages 13 months-12years, 27%-0-13 months and 11%-13 to 18 years. The incidence of mumps for 2006-2010 varied widely, and has increased significantly in 2007 (130/100,000) and 2008 (169/100,000). The majority of patients (over 34%) during the epidemics were aged 13 months-12years, and over 26% of them-13-19 years. For the period 2006-2010 the incidence of hepatitis A ranged from 2.98/100, 000 (2009) to 426/100,000

SOUTH ZONE - Two mumps outbreaks, declared in the South and Edmonton Zones of Alberta Health Services (AHS) on February 16 and March 28, respectively, have been declared over.

The virus reportedly occurred between the dates of Feb. 11 and Mar. 12, and has affected both men and women ranging in age from 18 to 48. Officials are looking into the initial exposure, the people who became infected and any links that can lead to more information.. The mumps virus is spread through saliva passed through a cough or sneeze, or by sharing beverages and utensils with someone who has the virus. Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, headaches, fatigue and swelling of the salivary glands. People who have previously experienced the virus or have received an MMR vaccination are not susceptible to contracting the virus. Since the introduction of the MMR vaccine, mumps has not been as common. However, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, prior to the introduction of the vaccine, it was a common illness among infants, children and young adults.. There are currently treatments for the virus, however, recovery time is typically around two weeks, with some cases ...

Most states have enacted laws requiring college students to obtain the MMR vaccine in order to attend their universities. This vaccine allegedly offers protection against the diseases measles, mumps and rubella. The effectiveness of Mercks MMR vaccine against mumps has been questioned by many scientists.. Meanwhile, the past five years have witnessed skyrocketing increases of mumps outbreaks across college campuses, among those students vaccinated, providing further evidence of the MMR vaccines failure. The MMR vaccine has been associated with injuries and deaths, while the diseases of measles and mumps which it targets are generally mild and resolve on their own.. To add to the insanity of these vaccine policies, campus authorities have urged students to receive booster MMR shots, after the failed MMR vaccines have resulted in mumps outbreaks among those vaccinated. This combination of events begs the question of whether the MMR college vaccine policies make any sense and what better ...

Dear Concerned about the future,. Mumps, which is an acute viral illness usually occurring in childhood and early adolescence, primarily causes inflammation and swelling of the salivary glands. However, in young men, mumps can also cause inflammation and swelling in one or both testes. This condition is called orchitis and it develops in approximately 25 percent of all mumps cases in males. Orchitis usually affects one testis, making it tender and painful for about two to four days, and potentially resulting in shrinkage of the affected testis to smaller than normal size. In extremely rare cases, orchitis can lead to sterility, as the damage to the testes through inflammation can cause defective sperm. As this is a concern for you, you may want to undergo a semen analysis to determine the number, shape, and degree of motility (ability to move around) of your sperm. A health care provider should be able to perform this analysis for you, and if there did appear to be a fertility problem, you would ...

Measles (also known as coughing measles, hard measles, morbilli, red measles, rubeola, and 10-day measles) is an infection that is easily spread from one person to another. Infection with measles can cause serious problems, such as stomach problems, pneumonia, ear infections, sinus problems, convulsions (seizures), brain damage, and possibly death. The risk of serious complications and death is greater for adults and infants than for children and teenagers. Mumps is an infection that can cause serious problems, such as encephalitis and meningitis, which affect the brain. In addition, teenage boys and men are very susceptible to a condition called orchitis, which causes pain and swelling in the testicles and scrotum, and in rare cases, sterility. Also, mumps infection can cause spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) in women during the first 3 months of pregnancy.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) _ The Illinois Department of Public Health says the state has 73 known mumps cases right now and more than two-thirds are in Champaign County. State and local health officials say the number of cases in the Champaign area is at 50 and could climb.

This statement from the Center for Disease Control very briefly summarizes the characteristics of mumps, and then describes live-mumps-virus vaccine, including adverse effects and immunity response. The use of the vaccine is reviewed, for dosage, in relation to age, and precautions and contraindications. Five bibliographic references are appended. ...

The mumps outbreak at Ohio State University has increased from 11 students to 13, officials said today. Cases have been confirmed in seven females and six males, 18 to 22 years old, said Dr. Mary Lynn Kiacz, OSU student-life medical director. None has been hospitalized.

The paramyxovirus that causes mumps is harbored in the saliva and is spread by sneezing, coughing, and other direct contact with another persons infected saliva. Once the person is exposed to the virus, symptoms generally occur in 14 to 24 days. Initial symptoms include chills, headache , loss of appetite, and a lack of energy. However, an infected person may not experience these initial symptoms. Swelling of the salivary glands in the face (parotitis) generally occurs within 12 to 24 hours of the above symptoms. Accompanying the swollen glands is pain on chewing or swallowing, especially with acidic beverages, such as lemonade. A fever as high as 104°F (40°C) is also common. Swelling of the glands reaches a maximum on about the second day and usually disappears by the seventh day. Once individuals have contracted mumps, they become immune to the disease, despite how mild or severe their symptoms may have been. While the majority of cases of mumps are uncomplicated and pass without incident, ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Ohio health officials have distributed more than 11,800 doses of vaccines to try to stem recent outbreaks of measles and mumps in the state.

One thing that many people dont realize is that you can insist on the monovalent (one disease only) form of vaccines, where available! For example, measles, rubella, and mumps vaccines are available separately from Merck & Co. The measles-only vaccine is called Attenuvax, the rubella-only is Meruvax, and the mumps-only is Mumpsvax. With all the concern over the MMR, some parents are assessing which diseases they are most concerned about, and vaccinating for that disease only. For example, mumps, while no fun, is not generally a fatal or life-altering disease if contracted as a child, so some parents are choosing to hold off on the mumps vaccine until the child is older (but before the age when contracting mumps can be problematic), when the childs immune and general system are better able to handle yet another vaccine. Many parents are now also insisting on thimerosal-free, individual vaccines, due to the serious and legitimate concern about the thimerosal/mercury poisoning, and its possible ...

A radial haemolysis test was used to investigate immunity to mumps. Antibody was found in 92 (42%) out of 220 children aged up to 5 years, 124 (78%) out of 159 children aged 6--10 years, 192 (86%) out of 222 children aged 11 years, 138 (92%) out of 150 children aged 15 years, and 280 (95%) out of 296 women attending an antenatal clinic. A group of 307 cadets aged 16--18 years were also tested and interviewed: 133 (95%) out of 140 who said that they had had mumps and 108 (87%) out of 124 who said that they had not had mumps were found to have antibody. The results suggest that tests for immunity to mumps by radial haemolysis would permit more rational use of mumps-specific immunoglobulin and attenuated mumps vaccine. ...

Mumps virus (MuV) is an enveloped, non-segmented, negative-sense RNA virus that causes mumps. MuV belongs to the genus Rubulavirus and family Paramyxovirus. Humans are the only natural host of MuV. MuV is transmitted through respiratory droplets (saliva or mucus), direct contact, or contact with surfaces carrying MuV. MuV is able to bind to host epithelial cells via haemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) and fusion (F) glycoproteins. Small hydrophobic (SH) protein is presumed to block TNFα-mediated apoptosis. Non-structural proteins NS1 and NS2 (V proteins) inhibit IFN production and signaling. ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Public health officials tracking a growing outbreak of mumps in central Ohio say four-fifths of the cases confirmed so far are linked to Ohio State University. Health officials f

Leydig-cell function was assessed in 27 men with acute mumps orchitis by measuring plasma testosterone concentrations before and after the administration of human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG). The test was also performed on groups of patients with other febrile viral infections and mumps without orchitis and on healthy euspermic men. The concentrations both before and after HCG were significantly lower in patients in the acute phase of mumps-but not in those with other viral infections and mumps without orchitis-than in the healthy men. Basal concentrations of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH) were significantly increased in patients with acute mumps orchitis, while an exaggerated response to LH-releasing hormone was noted in four patients after the acute phase of the disease. Raised plasma LH concentrations were also found in several patients with viral infections, including mumps without orchitis. There appeared to be no particular merit of any of the treatments ...

Hepatitis A vaccine will be given either alone or together with measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella vaccine and pneumococcal 7-valent conjugate vaccine at the first dose and together with measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella [Oka/Merck] virus vaccine at the second dose. Immunogenicity and safety data will be collected after each dose of vaccine ...

The results observed after experimental inoculation of active mumps virus into 41 vaccinated and 32 unvaccinated children,-with the consent of their parents or guardians,-indicated that formol-inactivated mumps virus obtained from the parotid gland of the infected monkey and employed as a vaccine in the manner which has been described increased the resistance of about half of those to whom it was administered.. ...

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) - Health officials have confirmed one case of mumps at the University of Kansas and are investigating nine other suspected cases since mid-December.

Seventy-seven patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who were in complete remission and whose therapies had been stopped for at least 6 months before enrollment in this study were retrospectively analyzed regarding their antibody status for measles, mumps, and rubella, with the aim to demonstrate the seropositivity rate after treatment in the authors group. Each patients serum samples were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method to determine the antibody titers before and after immunization. Measles serology was available in 77 children; 45 (58) were seronegative. Initial ages of measle-seronegative patients were statistically lower than those of seropositive cases (median 3.29 versus 4.91 years, respectively). Mumps serology was available in 76 children; 36 (47) were seronegative. Mumps-seropositive cases tended to have more frequent previous history of infection than seronegative cases (55.0 versus 28.6, respectively, P =.05). Rubella serology was available in ...

Detection of specific viral antibody or nucleic acid produced by infection or immunization, using oral fluid samples, offers increased potential for wider population uptake compared to blood sampling. This methodology is well established for the control of HIV and measles infections, but can also be applied to the control of other vaccine preventable infections, and this review describes the application of oral fluid assays in support of mumps, rubella and varicella national immunization programs. In England and Wales individuals with suspected mumps or rubella, based on clinical presentation, can have an oral fluid swab sample taken for case confirmation. Universal varicella immunization of children has led to a drastic reduction of chickenpox in those countries where it is used; however, in England and Wales such a policy has not been instigated. Consequently, in England and Wales most children have had chickenpox by age 10 years; however, small, but significant, numbers of adults remain susceptible.

To prevent disease and transmission in health-care settings, health-care institutions should ensure that all persons who work in health-care facilities have documentation of adequate vaccination against measles, rubella, and mumps or other acceptable evidence of immunity to these diseases (Table 3) (6).. Health-Care Personnel Born During or After 1957. Adequate vaccination for health-care personnel born during or after 1957 consists of 2 doses of live measles virus-containing vaccine, 2 doses of live mumps virus-containing vaccine, and at least 1 dose of a live rubella virus-containing vaccine (Table 3). The second dose of live measles virus-containing or mumps virus-containing vaccine should be administered at least 28 days after their first dose. Health-care facilities should use secure, preferably computerized, systems to manage vaccination records for health-care personnel so records can be retrieved easily (6).. Health-Care Personnel Born Before 1957. Although birth before 1957 is ...

There are three new vaccine science videos, explaining why vaccinated children keep getting infected, why vaccines are largely scientific fraud, and why arrogant vaccine pushers are so steeped in a sick desire to sacrifice children to their medical gods.. These videos shatter the utterly false myths being pushed by the fraudulent vaccine industry and its corporate-run junk science. For example, did you know that the recent mumps outbreak at Harvard took place among students who were already vaccinated?. So if vaccines work, then how did all those vaccinated students get the mumps? The answer is that mumps vaccines are medical fraud. They dont work. They never did. This was all admitted by vaccine industry scientists in a False Claims Act document filed with the federal government. That same document stated that vaccine companies knew their vaccines didnt work… and that the faked vaccines actually contributed to outbreaks of disease (which, of course, sells more vaccines that also dont ...

A CDC report shows that at least thirty of the fifty states in America have vaccine policies for college students, requiring incoming students receive the MMR vaccination. Most of the state laws focus on incoming freshmen living on campus, but the details vary by state. A search on this site entering the MMR vaccine and all universities will result in a detailed report. [4]. Other states, not included in this list, also require the MMR vaccine, including Missouri and Washington state. The actual number of universities requiring the MMR vaccination is likely much higher. [5, 6]. The media has helped to create fear among the public of the once common, mild childhood diseases of mumps and measles, which provided real, lifelong immunity. Whenever there is a measles or mumps outbreak, this news makes major headlines. No deaths or serious illnesses generally result, but widespread hysteria does. [7]. There has been a tremendous increase in all vaccine recommendations and damages since the beginning of ...

The University of Wyoming has implemented a policy to protect the University community against measles (rubeola), mumps, and rubella. All new on-campus students must provide proof of immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella prior to registration. The Student Immunization Form (available on the web at http://www.uwyo.edu/shser/_files/docs/mmr%20-%20student%20immunization%20form.pdf) can be completed, verifying compliance with this requirement, and sent to the Student Health Service prior to registration. Two doses of MMR vaccine are required. Other acceptable methods to comply with the requirement are detailed on the Form. Please note that the Form must be verified and signed by a health care clinician. Alternatively, a verified copy of an immunization record can be appended to the Form.. The only contraindication to the MMR immunization is a previous severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or vaccine component (neomycin, gelatin). Relative (temporary) contraindications include: pregnancy; persons ...

Providers are asked to work with Public Health to stop the outbreak. PHOENIX (December 19, 2019)-Maricopa County is experiencing a community-wide outbreak of mumps, a contagious disease that can lead to serious consequences.. This is the first community-wide mumps outbreak that Maricopa County has seen in decades and serves as a reminder of why its so important to get vaccinated for diseases that we can prevent, said Dr. Rebecca Sunenshine, medical director for disease control at Maricopa County Department of Public Health.. Mumps is a contagious disease caused by a virus that spreads through saliva (spit) or mucus from the mouth, nose or throat of an infected person. An infected person can spread mumps to others by kissing or by sharing food, drinks, eating utensils, cigarettes, lip gloss or any other items that come in contact with an infected persons saliva.. Symptoms of mumps can include:. ...

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of Kinrix when co-administered with varicella (Varivax® [varicella virus vaccine live], Merck and Company) and (measles mumps rubella) MMR vaccines, compared to Kinrix co-administered with MMR vaccine alone. Both Kinrix and the second dose of Varivax are indicated in children 4-6 years of age, and there is great potential for the vaccines to be given concurrently. The aim of this trial is to demonstrate that co-administered Varivax does not negatively affect the immunogenicity or reactogenicity of Kinrix ...

Please be reminded that the mumps virus spreads through saliva or mucus from the mouth, nose, or throat. An infected person can spread the virus by coughing, sneezing, kissing, or talking; sharing items, such as cups or eating utensils, with others; and touching objects or surfaces with unwashed hands that are then touched by others.. In an effort to maintain a healthy campus community, students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to take the following precautions to avoid the mumps virus.. ...

On September 6, 2005, the Food and Drug Administration licensed a combined live attenuated measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (MMRV) vaccine (ProQuad®, Merck & Co., Inc., Whitehouse Station, New Jersey) for use in children aged 12 months--12 years. The attenuated measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine viruses in ProQuad are identical and of equal titer to those in the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, MMRII® (Merck). The titer of Oka/Merck varicella-zoster virus is higher in MMRV vaccine than in single antigen varicella vaccine, VARIVAX® (Merck), a minimum of 3.13 log10 plaque-forming units (pfu) versus 1,350 pfu (approximately 1.13 log10), respectively. Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) current recommendations are that children aged 12 months--12 years receive 2 doses of MMR vaccine at least 1 month apart and 1 dose of varicella vaccine (1).* MMRV vaccine can ...

VIANA, Simone Santana et al. Antibody responses to Hepatitis B and measles-mumps-rubella vaccines in children who received chemotherapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Rev. Bras. Hematol. Hemoter. [online]. 2012, vol.34, n.4, pp.275-279. ISSN 1516-8484. http://dx.doi.org/10.5581/1516-8484.20120071.. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate viral vaccine antibody levels in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia after chemotherapy and after vaccine booster doses. METHODS: Antibody levels against hepatitis B, rubella, measles and mumps vaccine antigens were evaluated in 33 children after completing chemotherapy (before and after vaccine booster doses) and the results were compared to the data of 33 healthy children matched for gender, age and social class. RESULTS: After chemotherapy, 75.9%, 67.9%, 59.3% and 51.7% of the patients showed low antibody titers that would be unlikely to protect against exposure to measles, rubella, hepatitis B and mumps, respectively. After receiving a vaccine booster dose for ...

BACKGROUND Serum CRP concentrations are significantly elevated at the acute phase in patients with mumps orchitis, but little is known currently about other inflammatory biomarkers. METHODS We report the measurements of serum inflammatory biomarkers [high-sensitivity procalcitonin (hs-PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP) and amyloid A] in a child with mumps orchitis. RESULTS The patients serum levels of CRP, hs-PCT, and amyloid A were highly increased at the acute phase, but returned to normal levels at convalescence. CONCLUSIONS This case suggests that hs-PCT and amyloid A may not be useful for distinguishing between mumps orchitis accompanied by highly elevated serum concentrations of CRP and systemic bacterial infections.

In a recent story that no mainstream media outlet reported, a Pennsylvania federal judge ruled in favor of whistleblowers who have accused Merck of lying about the efficacy of its mumps vaccine (currently only available in combo with MMR). We had to find this story posted on a couple of websites representing lawyers. The lawsuit is brought by two whistleblowers, virologists who worked for Merck and are accusing Merck of lying about the effectiveness of the mumps vaccine. This story did garner mainstream news coverage back in 2012, before Mercks attorneys appealed and tried to get the case thrown out of court. This week, U.S. District Judge C. Darnell Jones II ruled that the whistleblowers had sufficiently pled that Merck might have provided false statements to the government and that the direct purchasers had shown enough evidence to establish that these falsehoods could have helped the company gain a monopoly. It is certainly understandable why the mainstream media does not want to touch this ...

EFE was previously considered a significant cause of infant mortality. In recent years, however, the incidence of this disease has declined dramatically,22 probably because of the availability of the mumps vaccine. This decline in incidence, which corresponds chronologically to the decline in mumps-related disease, in addition to the positive serological studies of mumps in EFE,14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 supported the proposal that mumps virus was an important etiologic agent for this disease. However, with the exception of a single report of the isolation of coxsackie B viruses from cardiac samples of EFE patients,13 a virus had not been cultured from these patients. Therefore, little direct evidence of a viral etiologic agent for EFE was available.. With the use of RT-PCR or PCR, autopsy material from a group of patients with EFE was analyzed previously for evidence of chronic infection by a range of viruses, including the enteroviruses, adenovirus, HSV, and CMV.11 In that study, adenoviral ...

The National Hockey League has recently undertaken extra precautions for its players after a recent outbreak of mumps. Usually seen as a childhood virus, mumps has spread to numerous players on four separate teams, as well as two on-ice officials, according to a recent New York Times report. Mumps is highly infectious and difficult to track due to its long incubation period, which is usually between 12 to 25 days. Patients can be infectious even if they appear asymptomatic, making the disease hard to contain when involving multiple teams and their staff.. The outbreak first started in October and has spread steadily to multiple team members from the Anaheim Ducks, St. Louis Blues, and The Rangers. It is estimated that with such a close contact sport, more players and personnel may contract the disease.. Symptoms associated with mumps can be very painful, especially in adults. Chills and sweats and swelling of the salivary glands are the most common symptoms of mumps, along with fever, headaches, ...

OBJECTIVE: To assess whether the combined measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine increases the incidence of joint and limb symptoms in young children. DESIGN: Comparison of six week recalled incidence of symptoms in two groups of children: children who had been immunised at the start of the six weeks, and children eligible for immunisation but who had not received it. SETTING: South Manchester Health Authority. SUBJECTS: 2658 children immunised during July 1989-February 1990 and 2359 not yet immunised. Questionnaires were returned for 1846 immunised children and 1075 not immunised. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Recalled rate of joint and limb episodes determined by postal questionnaire and later by clinical follow up. RESULTS: Compared with non-immunised children the immunised group had an increased incidence of new episodes (relative risk 1.6 (95% confidence interval (1.2 to 2.1)) and first ever episodes, though this was not significant (1.7 (0.3 to 3.5)). The risk of first episodes was increased in girls (3.5 (1

The measles, mumps and rubella vaccine does not increase the risk of autism and does not trigger autism in children who are at risk, according to a new study.

Why the modification of policy?. School officials state that since cases keep increasing on campus they meet the Cdc and Prevention criteria creating a third shot appropriate, with a high two-dose vaccination coverage (all SUs students happen to be fully vaccinated) intense exposure settings prone to facilitate transmission (e.g., schools, colleges, shared living facilities) along with a high attack rate and proof of ongoing transmission not less than 2 days.. Although vaccination is the best protection, it isnt 100 % effective. Actually, every Syracuse student that has contracted mumps continues to be correctly vaccinated.. The CDC states two doses of mumps vaccine are 88% good at stopping the condition one dose is 78% effective. There are several strains from the virus that arent taught in vaccine.. Based on Onondaga County Health Commissioner, Dr. Indu Gupta, up to now you will find 27 confirmed cases and 45 probable cases which involve people from the SU campus community. Theres also two ...

The aim of this study was to analyse distribution of meningoencefalitis caused by mumps virus in children related to sex, age and seasonal influences. Thirty seven children were evaluated, ages ranging from 2 to 14 years. They were seen at Emergency Unit of Faculdade de Medicina do Triangulo Mineiro and at Hospital da Crianca, in Uberaba-MG, Brazil, from March 1st 1991 to February 1st 1993 and they were hospitalized for about 5 days. Through a protocol findings were studied during hospitalization and clinical course stressing epidemiology, symptomatology, cerebrospinal fluid studies, electroencephalogram and cortical function analysis. Only epidemiological data were considered in the present study. Data analysis revealed male predominance, at a range from 5 to 9 years and great number of occurrences at the last quarter of the year ...

In October 2000 a letter was written to the editor of JAMA (The Journal of the American Medical Association) from the Ministry of Defense in Italy. The Italian Military wrote that they had decided to introduce the MMR vaccination containing the Schwarz measles, Urabe Am9 mumps and Wistar RA27/3 rubella strains, as mandatory in 1998 to examine the vaccines efficiency. (1) However, they were in for more than they bargained for because within one month of the soldiers receiving the vaccine the incidence of mumps had increased significantly.. The letter states:. The recent (April 1998) introduction of mandatory vaccination of military recruits provided an opportunity to examine the effectiveness and adverse effects of MMR vaccine (containing Schwarz measles, Urabe Am9 mumps, and Wistar RA 27/3 rubella strains) in a military setting.. The letter continues by adding:. To assess the efficacy of the MMR vaccine and the Urabe Am9-related reactogenicity, the incidence rates of MMR diagnosed in the Italian ...

A strain each of mumps and Newcastle disease virus and five strains of influenza virus were found to be capable of removing all the receptors for this group of viruses from fowl red cells. Five virus strains were tested for their capacity to inactivate the virus hemagglutinin of human plasma and of egg white. In the case of egg white all strains including mumps and Newcastle disease virus inactivated the inhibitor completely, or nearly so. With plasma the influenza strains inactivated the inhibitor completely but mumps and NDV destroyed only that portion of the complex which effected mumps inhibition. The inhibitor for some strains was destroyed more rapidly than that for others and the sequence in which they were destroyed (inhibitor gradient) was similar, regardless of the strain employed. The inhibitor gradient for egg white was very different from that for plasma and these in turn differed significantly from the receptor gradient for fowl red cells.. ...

A vaccine-preventable disease is an infectious disease for which an effective preventive vaccine exists. If a person acquires a vaccine-preventable disease and dies from it, the death is considered a vaccine-preventable death. The most common and serious vaccine-preventable diseases tracked by the World Health Organization (WHO) are: diphtheria, Haemophilus influenzae serotype b infection, hepatitis B, measles, meningitis, mumps, pertussis, poliomyelitis, rubella, tetanus, tuberculosis, and yellow fever. The WHO reports licensed vaccines being available to prevent, or contribute to the prevention and control of, 25 vaccine-preventable infections. In 2012, the World Health Organization estimated that vaccination prevents 2.5 million deaths each year. If there is 100% immunization, and 100% efficacy of the vaccines, one out of seven deaths among young children could be prevented, mostly in developing countries, making this an important global health issue. Four diseases were responsible for 98% of ...

The drawbacks of intralesional MMR in the management of recalcitrant warts include dependence on a modality not approved for the management of warts, secondary infection, flu-like symptoms, pruritus, burning, erythema, and edema.[1-10] However, the only adverse reactions noted in this series were pain and secondary infection. The recurrence rates following the MMR immunotherapy could not be commented upon since long-term follow-up is not available for these patients.. Poor response of plane warts to MMR vaccine (as observed in one patient) has been previously noted in literature.[1]. Various treatment modalities to stimulate the immunity are tried in patients manifesting recalcitrant warts and these include BCG vaccine, MMR vaccine, purified protein derivative, Mycobacterium w vaccine, Vitamin D, Candida antigen, and autoimplantation.[1-15]. Cell-mediated immunity against human papilloma virus helps in spontaneous resolution of warts. Immunotherapy modulates the immune system and helps in ...

Stephen A. Krahling and Joan A. Wlochowski, former Merck virologists blew the whistle by filing a qui tam action lawsuit - U.S. v Merck & Co. - in August 2010. The scientists allege that the efficacy tests for the measles, mumps, rubella vaccine (MMR) were faked. The document was unsealed in June, 2012.. This is a major federal case alleging fraud in vaccine testing; it encapsulates how medical research can be manipulated to achieve desired results, and why it may be wise to question the integrity and the validity of science-based medicine.. The suit charges that Merck knew its measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine was less effective than the purported 95% level, and it alleges that senior management was aware and also oversaw testing that concealed the actual effectiveness. According to the lawsuit, Merck began a sham testing program in the late 1990s to hide the declining efficacy of the vaccine. The objective of the fraudulent trials was to report efficacy of 95% or higher regardless of ...

Annual increments in measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccination coverage in England have halted, with uptake rates (mean 85%) remaining below the 95% rate needed for herd immunity.1 Some commentators have called for vaccination to be made compulsory, or otherwise heavily incentivised. Two schemes were recently debated in the UK press: MMR vaccination as a requirement for school entry (a form of compulsory vaccination),2 or the withholding of welfare payments from parents of non-vaccinated children (incentivised vaccination).3. Intervention effectiveness is partly determined by acceptability among target populations. We explored views towards these two schemes among (A) parents of … ...

Just look at the immunization schedules in Finland, Portugal, and other countries.. What about autism?. Rates of autism have increased in Japan, just as they have in other countries. So much for the idea that the MMR vaccine is associated with autism, right?. It should be obvious now that if anti-vaccine folks did any research at all, they wouldnt use Japan as an example when they talk about vaccines.. With higher rates of vaccine-preventable disease and deaths from vaccine-preventable diseases, especially right after they impulsively halt a vaccine, Japans vaccine history simply demonstrates that vaccines work and that they are still very necessary.. One thing is true though. Japans infant mortality rate has been dropping, but then so has the infant mortality rate in almost all other countries, including the United States, which is at record low levels.. It certainly isnt true that Japans infant mortality rate started to drop following a ban on mandatory vaccinations. How do we know that? ...

You wont hear anything about it from the mainstream media, but the federal governments kangaroo vaccine court has once again conceded, albeit quietly, that the combination measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine does, indeed, cause autism. In a recently published ruling, part of which was censored from public view, a young boy was awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars after it was determined that the MMR vaccine led to a confirmed diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
