Abstract
Foy, H. M. (School of Public Health and Community Medicine, Univ. of Washington, Seattle, Wash. 98195), M. K. Cooney, C. E. Hall, E. Bor and A. J. Maletzky. Isolation of mumps virus from children with acute lower respiratory tract disease. Amer J Epidem 94: 467–472, 1971.—Rates of mumps virus isolations from 0–5-year-old children with acute lower respiratory tract disease (croup, bronchiolitis, and pneumonia) were compared with rates of mumps isolations from children of the same age under biweekly surveillance for virus excretion regardless of illness. Both by comparison of frequency of mumps isolates per throat culture and by matching for age, sex, and time of specimen collection, the isolation rate was higher among children with lower respiratory disease than in the surveillance group. Furthermore, of the 13 children under routine surveillance who yielded mumps isolates, 5 had respiratory symptoms and only 5 had definite or probable mumps.
