Abstract
It is generally accepted that meningeal reactions in patients with mumps are due to the direct involvement of the meninges by the mumps virus. With the development of mumps vaccines, this view was extended to vaccinated people, who are considered serious post-vaccine meningitis. In present article, the author states that these reactions are not due to inflammation of the meninges, but to the choroid plexus caused by virulent and vaccine strains. Inflammation leads to an increase in cerebrospinal fluid secretion, which increases intracranial pressure and is manifested by meningeal symptoms. In the presence of this evidence, the author considers that meningeal reactions are not meningitis, but meningisms, based on clinical data, experiments on monkeys and the glymphatic system.
