ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - A mumps outbreak has continued to spread throughout Anchorage with 71 confirmed cases and 15 probable cases reported since May. The state recommends people be especially vigilant identifying and treating the infection during the holidays.

As of Dec. 1, the mumps outbreak has not spread beyond the Municipality of Anchorage.

Dr. Amanda Tiffany, an epidemiologist with the Department of Health and Social Services, says the Alaskan mumps outbreak mirrors a trend seen nationally. She says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports over 4,900 cases of mumps this year. 47 states and the District of Colombia have all reported cases of mumps, according to Dr. Tiffany.

To put the outbreak in perspective, the DHSS says it saw less than five confirmed cases of mumps between 2012 and 2017. And all of those were travel related, meaning the infection was contracted outside Alaska and then brought into the state...
