Handful of mumps cases emerge in Pulaski County
By Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
This article was published today at 3:12 a.m. Updated today at 3:13 a.m.

Mumps has made its way to Pulaski County, the Arkansas Department of Health announced Wednesday.

Fewer than five confirmed cases of the highly contagious disease have been confirmed in Pulaski County, according to a department spokesman. That doesn't mean the viral disease will spread, but health officials "wouldn't be surprised" if it did, the spokesman said.

The disease appeared in August in Northwest Arkansas, eventually infecting 769 people, according to the Health Department...

Health officials on average only have 3 to 4 cases a year, but this year they are up to 769 and it looks like that number will continue to rise.

?We're aware of individual cases that are not associated with a cluster that have shown up in Pulaski County,? said Dr. Dirk Haselow, the state epidemiologist for the Arkansas Department of Health.

They believe the cases are linked to those affected in Northwest Arkansas, but still stress that everyone is up-to-date with immunizations. The Pulaski County School District is already making steps to counteract the mumps outbreak in Arkansas. They said if the problem moves into the school system every child exposed to an effected student without the immunization will be dismissed...
