Reports of mumps have more than quadrupled in the north-east of England compared to the same time last year, latest figures show.
The Health Protection Agency said 133 cases were diagnosed between April and June compared with 32 in the same period in 2011.
The agency said the number of cases nationally had doubled from 468 to 930.
It warned teenagers and young adults who have not had two doses of MMR vaccine are particularly vulnerable.
