Abstract:
Measles, also known as the “first disease”, is a common childhood illness that can occur in adults as well. Sometimes leading to extremely serious complications. Highly contagious, this infectious disease is caused by the measles virus, a morbillivirus belonging to the family Paramyxoviridae. Typical symptoms of measles include fever, a strong feeling of general malaise and rash on large areas of the body. During infection, a high fever appears twice. Complications such as otitis and pneumonia are relatively common. The incubation period, which is the time between infection and onset of disease, usually lasts eight to ten days. Getting measles immunizes for life and protects against any new infection with the measles virus. There is a preventive vaccination, recommended in the Vaccination Plan. It is a reportable disease.
