Two confirmed cases of mumps have been identified in Marquette University students who reside in a residence hall, according to an email sent to students by the administration.

Both cases are linked to an earlier confirmed case of mumps in another student who was identified in January. 

The individuals are recovering at home and the City of Milwaukee Health Department has initiated the appropriate follow-up communication with close contacts of the two cases. 

Marquette University Medical Clinic is encouraging all members of the Marquette community to take the following steps to stay healthy and protect themselves.

Additional information on mumps is available from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For information or questions, contact the Marquette Medical Clinic at 414-288-7184.
