title: [Mumps orchitis--symptoms and treatment possibilities].
abstract: It is reported on 7 patients after mumps orchitis. In 7 out of 9 affected testes an atrophy was found. Because of this high atrophy rate the current therapeutic measures are discussed and a systemic immunoglobulin prophylaxis and corticosteroid therapy is emphasized. As an orchitis prophylaxis the application of mumps immunoglobulin in males aged from 12 to 20 years with mumps exposition is postulated.
