Non-HIV viral infections of the salivary glands.
Historically, the most significant non-HIV viral infection of salivary glands has been, and remains, mumps. Despite the widespread administration of mumps vaccines worldwide, sporadic outbreaks continue to be reported. Epidemiologic studies are invaluable in understanding the etiology of these outbreaks. Information gleaned from these studies, coupled with advances in immunology, virology, and DNA/RNA testing will hopefully result in the development of vaccination regimens to ensure eradication of the disease.
