A clinical diagnosis can be made by normal or decreased white blood cell count in blood routine examination (in patients with orchitis), increased blood and urine amylase. Positive specific mumps virus antibody IGM (no vaccination within 1 month), and an increase of mumps virus antibody IGG ≥ 4 times in the recovery period and acute period (including antibody positive conversion) can confirm the diagnosis.
