Anemia
Blood levels may decline as a result of the longstanding infection, specifically causing acute hemolytic anemia. This is a condition where red blood cells break down and the patient’s blood reduces the concentration of hemoglobin. This is the protein that gives red pigment and oxygen-delivering function to the blood. Thus, patients with anemia usually have skin pallor and may experience more fatigue than normal in the progression of the disease. Another alteration in blood values is known as thrombocytopenia. It is a decreased platelet count, and it is another complication of mumps.
