4.The age incidence was highest in 6 to 8 years (51.8%). 5.The clinical features were fever, vomiting, salivary gland swelling, headache, nuchal rigidity, Kernig’s sign, and abdominal pain, in it’s order of frequency. 6.The symptoms and signs of meningoencephalitis were present in 11(19.6%) before salivary gland enlargment, in 36(64%) after it, and in 9(16.1%) simultaneously. 7.In. C.S.F. findings, the cell count was elevated in all cases, protein was normal or
slightly elevated and sugar was normal in all cases. 8.A follow-up study of a number of patients was done, and the absence of serious sequale in this series suggest that a good prognosis may usually be given in mumps eningoence
