Measles is scientifically known as rubeola. It is a highly contagious viral infection characterized by symptoms such as high fever, cough, runny nose, and a distinctive red rash. The disease is caused by the measles virus, which is part of the Paramyxovirus family. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent measles.
Measles is found in many parts of the world, particularly in regions with low vaccination rates. Outbreaks have been reported in countries across Africa, Asia, and Europe, where access to healthcare and vaccination programs may be limited. Additionally, measles can re-emerge in areas with high vaccination coverage due to international travel and the movement of unvaccinated individuals. Efforts to increase vaccination and improve public health infrastructure are crucial in controlling and preventing outbreaks.
The measles virus, specifically the Measles morbillivirus, is responsible for causing measles in humans. It is highly contagious and is spread through respiratory droplets from coughs and sneezes of an infected person. Vaccination is an effective way to prevent measles.
Yes, the mortality rate is significantly higher in unvaccinated children with measles. Measles can lead to severe complications, including pneumonia, encephalitis, and diarrhea, which can be fatal. Vaccination effectively prevents these complications and the associated risk of death, making it a critical public health measure. In regions with low vaccination coverage, outbreaks can lead to increased mortality among children.
The virus that causes Chicken Pox is different from the virus that causes Measles. If you receive the vaccination for Chicken Pox and not the vaccination for Measles, you are immune to the virus that causes Chicken Pox but have no immunity against the virus that causes Measles. Thus, while while Chicken Pox will not kill you from Reyes Syndrome, you might go blind from Measles. You should also get vaccinated for Measles. We can be immune to chicken pox as if the mother of a baby has had chicken pox the mother will pass temporary immunity to the baby. You can also have a vaccination. If you have chicken pox once it is unlikely you will have it again. But you can get measles more than once unless you get vaccinated. Measles are also more serious than chicken pox.
MMR does not treat disease. It is a vaccination given to prevent measles, mumps, and rubella.
