Popis:	The reported incidence of mumps has declined dramatically since licensure of the live attenuated mumps vaccine in the United States in 1967, particularly in young children. Because administration of the vaccine was not widely practiced during the first decade it was available, there is now a cohort of teenagers and young adults who are relatively underimmunized. Reported mumps cases in this cohort increased substantially during 1986 to 1987. Mumps outbreaks at three Illinois universities, from which 123 clinical cases were reported between September 1986 and May 1987, were investigated. Meningeal involvement was reported in 17% of case-patients, orchitis occurred in 19% of 64 men, 6% of patients were hospitalized, and direct health care costs were estimated at $264 per case and more than $32 000 for the three outbreaks combined. The risk of mumps illness was greater for students
