Abstract

Background: MUMPS is an acute viral illness affecting school-aged CHILDREN and adolescents. HEARING LOSS is an important complication of MUMPS and specialty MUMPS MENINGOENCEPHALITIS. MUMPS is still the most common cause of unilateral sensor neural HEARING LOSS in poorly vaccinated populations. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of hearing impairment in CHILDREN with MUMPS meningoencephalits to clarify the necessity of hearing assessment in these patients. Material and methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study lasted 27 months from February 2002 to May 2005 on CHILDREN and adolescents aged 5 to 15 years old who had been admitted with MUMPS MENINGOENCEPHALITIS in Dastgheib and Nemazee hospitals. The required data such as age, gender, clinical manifestations, CSF analysis and the result of audiometer were collected and analyzed. HEARING LOSSes in range of 25 to 30 dB, 31 to 50 dB and more than 51 dB are considered as mild, moderate and severe respectively. Results: Totally, 83 patients were studied: 62 (74.7%) were male and 21 (25.3%) were female and the average age was 91 3 years. The most prevalent clinical manifestations were fever (100%), vomiting (98.7%) and the most observed sign was neck rigidity (80.7%), followed by Brudzinski sign (26.5%). From 83 patients with MUMPS MENINGOENCEPHALITIS, 35 (42%) patients had hearing impairment in at least one of the measured frequencies. Totally, 13 (15.7%) patients had bilateral HEARING LOSS. Three patients (3.6%) were identified to have moderate (31 to 50 dB) HEARING LOSS, and one patient had severe HEARING LOSS (more than 51 dB) at 4000 Hz in left ear. Conclusions: This study demonstrated the high prevalence of hearing impairment and specifically bilateral hearing impairment in CHILDREN with MUMPS MENINGOENCEPHALITIS. Regarding the clinical complications of hearing impairment in CHILDREN and the fact that early detection of hearing impairment is valuable in decreasing its consequences on speech and learning, it is necessary to assess the hearing of all CHILDREN with MUMPS MENINGOENCEPHALITIS.
