1. It was confirmed by complement fixation and hemagglutination inhibition tests of sera or isolation of virus from spinal fluid that six patients from July 1954 to September 1955, had mumps meningoencephalitis.
2. Only one of these 6 patients died on the 3rd day of illness, but the others recovered from the illness.
3. The author succeeded in isolating virus from spinal fluid of one case with clinical parotitis and meningoencephalitis. This spinal fluid was harvested on the 5th day of illness and agglutiinated human and chicken red blood cells.
4. The virus isolated from the spinal fluid was identified with mumps virus serologically and biologically.
5. Mumps complement fixation and hemagglutination inhibition tests were carried out on sera from 34 patients in 1955, supposed Japanese B encephalitis, but from whom sera were negative in the complement fixation test of Japanese B encephalitis. It was not confirmed that they suffered from mumps meningoencephalitis with exceptional 2 patients, who had parotitis and were positive in serologic tests with mumps virus.
