Mumps outbreak at California college linked to student athletes

An outbreak of jaw-swelling mumps at Southern California’s San Diego State University has been linked to several students athletes -- but it seems to be contained for now. Three cases of the contagious disease were confirmed, and two other probable cases were reported, though the university did not identify the patients or the sport that had been affected. “Importantly, the students are no longer considered contagious,” Dr. Tanushree Ghosh, the medical director for the school’s student health services, wrote in a letter published online Friday. She said the school was working with the county to respond to the outbreak. Mumps is caused by a virus that affects the salivary glands and is often characterized by puffy cheeks and a swollen jaw — but severe cases can lead to brain, testicle and ovary inflammation that causes sterility. The measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine protects against the harsh disease, but people who have been vaccinated may still be infected.
