Botanical immune enhancement (with echinacea, for example) can assist the body in working through this viral infection.

How vaccinating a child with MMR vaccine makes them immune to measles?

MMR is measles mumps and rubella. If you give a strain of measles to a child, it's immune system develops anti bodies that destroy the virus, the anti bodies will stay around for ever and the child will be immune to measles as the anti bodies will prevent the measles virus from spreading.


What type of cell are measles?

Measles is a viral infection caused by the measles virus, which primarily infects and replicates in immune cells such as T lymphocytes and macrophages in the respiratory system.


What are drugs used for vaccine in measles?

The drug used for the measles vaccine is typically a live attenuated virus called the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. It helps the immune system develop protective antibodies against the measles virus, preventing infection and providing immunity.


What happens to a person who has completed the MMR series when they are exposed to a contagious person who has the measles?

If the person who has had both their MMR jabs has a weak immune system - which may be due to them being too clean - they will probably catch measles. If the MMR jabs didn't work, they will get measles. If the MMR jabs worked, that person won't get measles unless they have a weak immune system (as mentioned above). There really isn't a definite answer to this question - they might get measles, they might not. It depends on if the MMR jabs worked and the strength of their immune system.


Why cant you get measles more than once?

In rare cases a person can. Generally though, it is a one time deal. Measles are caused by a virus. After a healthy body is exposed to a virus it will create an anti-virus to fight it. When the person is recovered from the illness they will be immune. This is also how the measles vaccine works. The vaccine introduces a small amount of the virus for the body to create immunity to.

Does a rubella igg test 400 mean you are immune to both types of measles?

A rubella IgG test result of 400 indicates that you have immunity to rubella, not measles. Rubella is distinct from measles, which is caused by a different virus. To be immune to measles, you would need to have a specific IgG test for measles, not rubella. Therefore, a high rubella IgG level does not imply immunity to measles.

What does measles do to the homeostatis?

Measles disrupts homeostasis by compromising the immune system, leading to increased susceptibility to secondary infections. The virus can cause high fever, rash, and respiratory distress, which further destabilizes the body's internal balance. Additionally, the immune response triggered by measles can result in inflammation and damage to various organs, exacerbating the overall disruption of homeostasis. Long-term, measles can lead to immune amnesia, impairing the body's ability to respond to other pathogens effectively.
