Abstract

Measles is one of the most contagious infectious diseases in the world. It has a secondary infection rate of about 90% in susceptible people. It is a childhood disease, but it can affect people of all ages (1, 2). Uncomplicated measles presents with a generalized rash, temperature of 38.3oC or higher, coryza, conjunctivitis, and a cough lasting 7 days or more. Laboratory confirmation is made by serologic testing for measles-specific IgM or IgG antibodies, isolation of the virus, and reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) (1-3). The treatment of measles is mainly supportive, including well hydration and sometimes intravenous (IV) hydration if the dehydration is severe. Vitamin A supplementation also should be considered. The complications of measles occur more often in people younger than 5 years of age or older than 20 years, complications also occur in people with vitamin A deficiencies, malnutrition, immune deficiency disorders, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and in those with a history of inadequate vaccination (2-5). The risk of death among patients is usually 0.2%, but it can rise to 10% in those with malnutrition and other immunodeficiency disorders. Immunocompromised patients are susceptible and are at risk of severe illness and superinfections, such as pneumonia and otitis. Patients should be under follow-up care for surveillance of complications of the infection. The measles vaccine is effective in preventing the disease.
