| Abstract |
Mumps occurs among adults and hospital personnel have an elevated risk of infection. Between 1986 and 1988 immunity against mumps of 566 employees of the paediatric section of the University Hospital in Freiburg, Germany, was determined by mumps antibody tests. More than one third had no antibodies. Of these 41 participated in a vaccination programme and 33 developed antibodies. |
