News :: Not Mumps: VS schools dealing with parotitis cases
By Mary Jo Hainstock, V-S Superintendent · 11:58am October 27th, 2011 · 3 hours ago
There was a report of a couple cases that appeared to be mumps in our district this week. Because this would be highly unusual, the case was refered to the Iowa Department Public Health for further analyzes. Upon further testing, they determined it was not mumps, but rather a form of parotitis that mimics mumps.
The district has been working very closely with the Benton County Health Department along with the Iowa Department of Public Health to make sure we give accurate and up to date information. If you have any questions please feel free to call the Benton County Health Department. We will continue to monitor our students health concerns as the flu season is now upon us...
