We became particularly interested in testing whether or not elevated serum amylase values could be of assistance in aiding in the diagnosis of orchitis and epididymitis due to mumps when there was no history or evidence of parotitis.3The additional problem of attempting to determine the effect of mumps on serum lipase presented itself, for if, as some investigators4, 5believe, the serum amylase elevation noted in mumps is due to a silent...Bibliography1.
