Mumps
Prognosis for Mumps
Uncomplicated mumps usually resolves, although, rarely, a relapse occurs after about 2 weeks. Prognosis for patients with meningitis is usually good, although permanent sequelae, such as unilateral (or rarely bilateral) nerve deafness or facial paralysis, may result. Postinfectious encephalitis, acute cerebellar ataxia, transverse myelitis, and polyneuritis occur rarely.
