Cases of mumps appear to be spreading in Delhi as doctors report more and more children and young adults between 18 and 25 are visiting them with symptoms.
Though the viral infection appears to be spreading in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR), other states such as Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Telangana, and Maharashtra have seen rising mumps cases in children in the past few months.
Dr Kiran Aggarwal, paediatrician and former president of the Delhi-based Indian Academy of Paediatrics, told NDTV thousands of cases are being reported from across the country.
