Red measles, also known as measles or rubeola, is a highly contagious viral infection characterized by symptoms such as high fever, cough, runny nose, and a distinctive red rash that typically appears a few days after the initial symptoms. It is caused by the measles virus and is spread through respiratory droplets. Vaccination with the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine is the most effective way to prevent the disease. Complications can include pneumonia, encephalitis, and, in severe cases, death.
