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...

Mumps outbreak spreading to Pulaski Co.
Mumps outbreak spreads into central Ark.
Katlyn Gardenhire , KTHV 7:42 PM. EDT October 27, 2016


PULASKI COUNTY, Ark. (KTHV) - The mumps outbreak that started in Northwest Arkansas has now made its way into central Arkansas. The Arkansas Department of Health has said they're more worried about mumps than they are the flu this year.

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...

*This is an active outbreak. Mumps case counts are provisional and include cases that are currently being investigated. Because this number is provisional, the numbers reported may occasionally decrease if lab tests are negative for mumps.

Throughout this outbreak, 90% to 95% of school-aged children and 30% to 40% of adults involved in the outbreak have been fully immunized. The vaccine is not perfect. Two doses of the MMR shot are about 88% effective at preventing the mumps. That means that if you have 100 people who are fully vaccinated, 88 of them will be fully protected. The remaining 12 will still be vulnerable to mumps. If it were not for the vaccine, however, we would be seeing many, many more cases of the mumps. Also, we have only seen a few cases with complications, like swelling of the brain or testicles. Normally, we would expect to see many more persons with complications. This tells us that even though some vaccinated individuals are still getting the mumps, they are experiencing mild disease. The vaccine remains the best protection we have against the mumps.
