Case of Mumps During Hyperbaric Exposure

Abstract

Mumps virus infection without parotitis was observed in one member of a four-man U.S. Navy diving team during a 15-day 600-foot chamber dive. As part of a biomedical program, blood samples were obtained periodically throughout the dive. This report details the clinical course of the disease, the biochemical changes that occurred, and the serum viral titer studies. There were no apparent differences between mumps in the hyperbaric environment and mumps at ambient pressure.
