Return
of the Mumps
"After the worst mumps outbreak in 20 years disproportionately
struck college students last spring, many feared the disease would pose
a threat to campuses when students returned this fall. So far in September,
a cluster of 33 infected college students in Illinois and another suspected
case on a Virginia campus have medical professionals on alert, even
though they say it’s too early to tell if the new cases are linked
with the spring’s outbreak or if they herald another record year
for infections of students."
