“…UMPS (epidemic parotitis) is an acute communicable disease caused by a paramyxovirus, characterized by painful enlargement of the salivary glands, particularly the parotid glands. 1 Neurologic and ocular manifestations of mumps are well documented [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] but seldom appear concomitantly. 6,8,9,11,12 Meningitis and mild meningoencephalitis are the most frequent complications of mumps in children.…”

“…Acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC) is commonly attributed to enterovirus and coxsackievirus, while herpetic conjunctivitis is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Conjunctivitis can also be a result of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) [26], measles virus [27], and mumps virus [28,29]. However, it's worth noting that the clinical manifestations associated with these viruses differ slightly from those seen in cases of other viral conjunctivitis.…”

Background:Conjunctivitis is an inflammatory disease of the eye that has been a global issue for many years. In August 2023, there was an outbreak of conjunctivitis not only in Pakistan but also in the neighboring South Asian countries. This article discusses the spread of conjunctivitis, its pathophysiology, symptoms, prevention, management and further highlights the strategies applied by countries worldwide. Subject and Methods:A rapid review of databases including Google Scholar, PubMed, World Health Organization (WHO), and American Journal of Ophthalmology was conducted on October 3, 2023, using keywords; conjunctivitis, prevention, and transmission.Results: Conjunctivitis typically presents with redness, tearing, and discomfort in the affected eye, often accompanied by a gritty sensation. Additionally, individuals may experience light sensitivity and a watery discharge. It can manifest as allergic, bacterial, or viral, with the current discussion focused on viral conjunctivitis. Viral conjunctivitis poses a unique challenge and recognizing these signs and symptoms is crucial. Evidence shows that there are no effective antiviral drugs, but there is a definite treatment present for the cure of conjunctivitis. It is endemic in low socioeconomic areas, so the best form of treatment is prevention. The article suggests the verified and approved treatment for the disease and notifies that maintaining hygiene is one of the most important factors in preventing the disease. This includes measures such as frequent hand washing and use of artificial tears, avoidance of frequent eye touching, and sharing of towels. Conclusion:This article provides extensive information about viral conjunctivitis and recommended measures for its prevention by highlighting the strategies adopted by hospitals in different parts of the World. There is a need for more research regarding the spread and strategies to overcome it in the Asian regions including Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh.

“…Mumps induces various eye symptoms; dacryoadenitis is the most frequent manifestation, indicating that the mumps virus has a tendency to localize in the salivary tissue, including the lacrymal gland [ 5 ]. A paramyxovirus is a contagious agent, and it spreads through direct contact via droplets [ 6 ]. One-third of those who contract the mumps virus have a subclinical infection, making it a benign and self-limiting illness.…”

“…Viral conjunctivitis includes epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) and pharyngoconjunctival fever (PCF) caused by adenovirus, acute hemorrhage conjunctivitis (AHC) caused by enterovirus and coxsackievirus, and herpetic conjunctivitis caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV). Varicella–zoster virus (VZV) [ 3 ], measles virus [ 4 ], and mumps virus [ 5 , 6 ] also cause conjunctivitis; however, the clinical findings associated with these viruses are slightly different from those associated with other viruses causing viral conjunctivitis. Viral conjunctivitis is predominantly of the follicular type, and characteristics of viral conjunctivitis include redness, blood vessel engorgement, ocular discharge, pain, photophobia, and pseudo membranes.…”

Viruses account for 80% of all cases of acute conjunctivitis and adenovirus; enterovirus and herpes virus are the common causative agents. In general, viral conjunctivitis spreads easily. Therefore, to control the spread, it is crucial to quickly diagnose illnesses, strictly implement hand washing laws, and sanitize surfaces. Swelling of the lid margin and ciliary injection are subjective symptoms, and eye discharge is frequently serofibrinous. Preauricular lymph node swelling can occasionally occur. Approximately 80% of cases of viral conjunctivitis are caused by adenoviruses. Adenoviral conjunctivitis may become a big global concern and may cause a pandemic. Diagnosis of herpes simplex viral conjunctivitis is crucial for using corticosteroid eye solution as a treatment for adenovirus conjunctivitis. Although specific treatments are not always accessible, early diagnosis of viral conjunctivitis may help to alleviate short-term symptoms and avoid long-term consequences.
