ORANGE ? Four students who attended Chapman Law School?s back-to-school event in late January have been diagnosed with mumps, and more could have been exposed to the virus, county health officials said Friday.
One case has been confirmed through testing and there are three probable cases, said Dr. Matthew Zahn, medical director of epidemiology and assessment at the Orange County Health Care Agency.
The three students who are probable were exposed as part of the same social group and are experiencing mumps symptoms, Zahn said.
The health agency has supplied vaccines to Chapman University. He said they will be administered through the campus clinic to students who were exposed.
Students were exposed to the virus Jan. 27 at Rudy?s Pub & Grill in Newport Beach, according to a Chapman University health alert issued Friday.
