It
was surprising that within four months, January to April, there were
about 704 individual cases of measles in the US from 22 states. This
is a big number since the US declared that measles was eliminated in
2000 (CDC, 2019).
What
is Measles?
Measles
is a disease that caused by virus (family Paramyxoviruses). Measles
virus causes the potentially serious infection. This disease is
characterized by fever and maculopopular rash or rubeola, and it's
more severe than rubella. This disease is super contagious and highly
transmissible disease. The transmission of measles is by inhalation
of large droplets aerosols from the infected person.
What
are the symptoms of the measles?
The
initial symptoms
During the early phase, between one and
four days, the symptoms develop an upper respiratory, such as runny
nose and hacking cough, and also pink eye (conjunctiva). Sometimes,
the symptoms will not shown until one or two week, so that the person
does not know that she/he already get contagious.
Koplik
Spots
Two
or three days after initial symptoms, the small spots with white in
the centers appear in the inside of the cheek or soft palate. These
spots look like grain of salt with red color as their background
(reddish halo). Their size are very small, about 1 or 2 mm. Koplik's
spots also can appear on the conjunctiva, and vaginal mucosa. These
red spots lesions can last for one or two days. See the picture
below.

(CDC/
Heinz F. Eichenwald, MD )
The
measles rash.
Within
12 or 24 hours after the Koplik's Spots are shown, the rash or skin
eruptions of measles will appear starting below the ear and spread
over the body. After one or two day the rash can cover all around
the body surfaces. When the rash is appearing, usually the fever is
high.
The
complications from rubeola could be very serious. It can cause ear
infections, broncho-pneumonia, croup, and also inflammation in the
brain.
The
person who never get vaccine measles and the person who has problem
with immune system, they are in high risk to get contagious of
measles virus. To prevent from the infection of measles, the series
of shot measles vaccine are required. The vaccine is live vaccine
that combine with Rubella and Mumps (MMR).

Hi! Very interesting post. It´s a very big problem in our days. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day!
People don't trust in medicine nowadays because pharma companys ruin the reputation of good health care. So parents don't vaccinate their children because they think they prevent them from damage. Children can handle childhood diseases that's why they got this name. But children became adults and then childhood diseases are fatally. Here in Europe people are tired of immunisation so it comes that diseases which are thought eliminated arises again. It is good to talk about the subject and people should learn and think it over.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day.
