| Popis: | A young adult male with no previous comorbidities presented with complaints of fever since 10 days and right cheek swelling since one week duration. Ultrasonography (USG) guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of intraparotid lymph node showed ‘reactive lymphadenitis’. He was started on antibiotics and symptomatic treatment. He later developed breathlessness and desaturation following which he was shifted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and given non-invasive ventilation (NIV). Chest X-Ray (CXR) showed features suggestive of bilateral pneumonia. Mumps immunoglobulin-meta (IgM) was found to be positive. He improved over the next few days and was discharged. |
