Mumps is a contagious viral infection primarily causing painful swelling of the salivary glands, particularly the parotid glands, and can lead to complications such as orchitis, meningitis, and pancreatitis.
Rare in developed countries due to vaccination; outbreaks can occur in close-contact settings (e.g., universities) even with high vaccination rates (CDC).
