Description
Sedogawa and five co-authors report a virus case that mimicked mumps, in work from twenty twenty-five. Parvovirus B19 usually causes a childhood rash illness. In adults its signs are diverse and often atypical, which can mislead diagnosis.
Their patient was a healthy man aged thirty-eight with high fever and low white cell counts. Both glands under the jaw were markedly swollen, a mumps like picture rarely described for this virus in adults with normal immunity. Testing pointed to parvovirus B19 instead. The case widens the list of causes doctors should consider for adult gland swelling with fever.
