“…It is simple to perform but is unreliable because of cross‐reaction with parainfluenza virus 3 (23). An enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay for mumps antibody therefore is the preferred test of choice (24).…”

In recent years there has been a decline in the uptake of the MMR vaccine and a significant increase the number of reported case of mumps. This condition has number of important extrasalivary manifestations including mumps epididymo-orchitits. The article reviews the pathophysiology, clinical symptoms, diagnosis, and long-term sequelae of this increasingly prevalent condition and provides a reference for all practising urologists treating this disease.

“…Enzyme-immunoassay (ELISA) tests have been recognized as useful methods to detect antibody to varicella zoster virus (anti-VZV) for epidemiological purposes (Larussa et al, 1987;Weinberg et al, 1996;Doern et al, 1997). Variations in both sensitivity and specificity have been, however, found with commercial anti-VZV assays (Larussa et al, 1987;Weinberg et al, 1996;Doern et al, 1997).…”
