The article analyses the clinical course of parotid virus infection in 207 servicemen basicly from the scene of epidemic outbreaks. The period of disclosure of illness and further hospitalization of patients was considerably rapid. The diagnosis was frequently impeded by polymorphism of clinical features of illness and resulted in 25.8% of errors which enveloped localization of pathological process and the gravity estimation of the infection. Error diagnoses were also provoked by frequent appearance of slight and obscure forms of illness. The article stresses that unfavourable cases of parotid virus infection are no longer exceptional in the modern conditions.
