Yes they can, but we have modern medicines to keep you from dying.
In 2008, approximately 164,000 people died of measles in the world.
Yes, they can but modern medicine can keep you from dying.
Measles is a very contagious viral infection that causes a rash all over your body. Measles can lead to serious health problems such as pneumonia, and in rare cases, it can cause seizures or meningitis. However, today there is a MMR (Measels, Mumps, Rubella) vaccine that is commonly available. I believe all children in the modern world are automatically vaccinated shortly after birth.
Just a brief note:
In the UK, vaccines are available but they are not automatic or compulsory. The UK currently has a measles outbreak in Wales, mostly due to children not being vaccinated after 'scare stories' of there being a relation between the MMR vaccine and Autism.
Between the years 1987 and 2000, the case fatality rate across the United States was three measles-attributable deaths per 1000 cases, or 0.3% (177 deaths / 67,032 cases).[6] In underdeveloped nations with high rates of malnutrition and poor healthcare, fatality rates have been as high as 28%.[6] In immunocompromised patients (e.g. people with AIDS) the fatality rate is approximately 30%.[7]

Few people die from measles. It is seldom fatal.
In poorer countries, with sparse medical facilities, measles is fatal more often.
In some cases, measles can cause death. Thankfully there is a measles vacine.

Polio is so dangerous because it kills many people and it paralyzes the muscles. This can lead to sever disability. By the way I'm just guessing this answer
There was no cure for measles in the 1700s, and no cure now in the 21st century, only prevention. Prevention is by getting a vaccination. Measles is very dangerous. A person can die from the measles. Early symptoms are similar to the flu: fever, runny nose, cough, etc. Next red spots appear on the face, and then more on the torso, arms and legs. Bright light will hurt the victim's eyes. Antibiotics can help to keep other sicknesses at bay during measles, but cannot cure measles.
It is a virus called rubeola (not to be confused with rubella).Measles is caused by the measles virus, " a single-stranded, negative-sense enveloped RNA virus of the genus Morbillivirus within the family Paramyxoviridae." Rubella, otherwise known as German measles, is caused by the rubella virus. German measles is less potentially dangerous than "regular" measles, except in pregnant women, where it can cause miscarriage or birth defects.Some animals and plants suffer from diseases which are also called "Measles" but which are caused by entirely different pathogens (such as parastical worms).The pathogen that causes Measles is the Measles virus, a type of paramyxovirus. Here's a brief description of it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measles_virus

Indeed you do. Â Measles can be very dangerous, especially people whose immunity systems are not working well, for example, people on cancer treatment. Â People with measles should be nursed in a darkened room to protect the eyes, and put bicarbonate of soda in a bath ( not too hot ) to help relieve the itching.
The singular of "measles" is "measles." The word does not change whether it is singular or plural.
Measles is not a deficiency disease. Measles is caused by measles virus. This is an infectious disease.
