A second attack of Mumps occurs in any condition of immunocompromise like severe malnutrition,liver disease ,severe uncontrolled diabetes, chronic alcoholism, malignancy, ageing and AIDS
Sometimes it occurs in no known cause.

After a case of mumps it is very unusual to have a second bout because one attack of mumps almost always gives lifelong protection against another. However, other infections can also cause swelling in the salivary glands, which might lead a parent to mistakenly think a child has had mumps more than once.
By the way, I clicked the link that love_share above posted here and it took me to a website. that people have been reporting has a virus. BE CAREFUL!
