Once someone is infected with the virus, it takes about 7-18 days before he or she actually becomes ill.
Like all viruses, chickenpox reproduce by entering a host cell and and then injecting the virus' genetic material into that host cell. The genetic material then gains control over the cell, in order to make futher copies of the virus until eventually the host cell bursts (dies) which release baby viruses. This process is repeated over and over.
What organs are involved with measles?
d it is a flu that you must get many of injections,curecan also be cuby bathing in lizard urine
How can you prove you've had a measles vaccination?
Typically, a person who needs proof of chickenpox can get a blood test showing antibodies to chickenpox. In some contexts, a signed statement from your doctor who diagnosed chickenpox will suffice.
What is the prognosis for a healthy child who contracts measles?
The prognosis for an otherwise healthy, well-nourished child who contracts measles is usually quite good.
The measles virus is transmitted via respiratory secretions, and causes a very serious febrile illness. It first infects the respiratory mucosa, spreads through the lymphatics and bloodstream, and can then infect the conjunctiva, respiratory tract, urinary tract, GI tract, endothelial cells, and the central nervous system. The maculopapular rash, which starts at the hairline and spreads over the whole body, is caused by immune T-cells targeted to the infected endothelial cells of the small blood vessels. T-cell deficient individuals do not have the rash, but do have uncontrolled disease which usually results in death. The damage, as well as the control of the disease, is most probably caused by the immune system. Pneumonia and encephalitis are serious consequences. Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a very serious sequelae caused by a defective measles virus. It can cause neurological symptoms months or even years after the original infection. A live, attenuated vaccine has been available since 1967. It is given in combination with mumps and rubella vaccines (MMR) after 15 months of age. Individuals who received the killed vaccine prior to the introduction of the live attenuated vaccine do not have lasting immunity and should be revaccinated with the live virus. It is now also recommended that all individuals be re-vaccinated after eighteen years of age. Exposed, non-immune, individuals should be given immune serum globulin.
Measles is primarily a respiratory infection caused by a highly contagious virus found all over the world. The symptoms include fever, runny nose, cough, sore and reddened eyes, followed by the characteristic red-brown rash. The rash usually starts on the face and spreads down the body, lasting three or more days.
The incubation period - that's the time between exposure to someone with the disease and the onset of the symptoms - is about 10 days. The red rash shows up three days to a week after the first symptoms. People are contagious from just before symptoms appear until 4 to 5 days after the rash appears.
Why are you Immune to Chickenpox but not to Measles?
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.
What is prodromal period in measles?
The interval between the earliest symptom and the appearence of the disease
When was the pathogen of the measles first discovered?
Reports of measles go as far back to at least 600 B!.C!. however, the first scientific description of the disease and its distinction from smallpox is attributed to the Persian physician Ibn Razi (Rhazes) 860-932 who published a book entitled "The Book of Smallpox and Measles" (in Arabic: Kitab fi al-jadari wa-al-hasbah)!. In roughly the last 150 years, measles has been estimated to have killed about 200 million people worldwide!.[1] In 1954, the virus causing the disease was isolated from an 11-year old boy from the US, David Edmonston, and adapted and propagated on chick embryo tissue culture!.[2] To date, 21 strains of the measles virus have been identified!.[3] Licensed vaccines to prevent the disease became available in 1963!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Measles is a very infectious illness caused by a virus - a viral infection caused by the rubeola virus. It is an endemic disease; meaning it is continually present in a community and many people develop resistance. If measles enters an area where the people have never been exposed the result can be devastating.
Generally not. Most doctors will keep your vaccination record and recommend booster shots whenever necessary. On the whole, as long as you follow your doctor's recommendations, your chance of encountering measles is pretty low.
Can a child get adult measles?
Adults can get both chickenpox and shingles. Prior to universal vaccination in the US, chickenpox was considered a "childhood" disease. Since vaccination became routine, the average age of chickenpox patients has increased. The virus that causes the disease, varicella zoster virus, lives, dormant, in the spinal cord after the disease is over . In later adult years, this can flare up again as shingles.
An adult who never had chickenpox or the vaccine can't get shingles. Between one in five and one in three adults will get shingles after having chickenpox.
although German measles is considered a children's disease, adults have known to get it as well, and almost every child who was not immunized as an infant stands a good chance of catching it as well because it is highly contagious when someone comes in contact with the disease, it is quite dangerous for a pregnant woman because it could affect the fetus and have dire consequences.
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.
How many measles patients who develop encephalitis die?
Many patients (about 5-15%) develop other complications.
Can you get chickenpox if you had measles?
Yes, you can get chickenpox after having measles. Although both are viral infectious diseases that cause rashes, they are caused by different viruses, and a history of one doesn't give immunity to the other.
Yes, rubella can be lethal. Nearly all deaths from rubella occur in infants or unborn fetuses. Prior to the introduction of the vaccine in the late 1960s, it was a common childhood disease and a very significant cause of birth defects and stillbirths.
It is very unlikely that *you* will die from it, even if you are exposed to it and not already protected through vaccination. Adults with normal immune systems will recover, but women can infect their baby and anyone else may infect a pregnant woman. That's why the vaccine remains in use.
No,the person who has once caught measles has the antibodies against measles viruses.
When a person has caught measles th T type lymphocytes detect the type of virus and then the B type lymphocytes produce antibodies for the viruses of maesles.Antibodies stick with these viruses and destroy them.
This person can not get measles again in life because the antibodies against measeles are already produced for prevntion by catching measles once. These antibodies are memory cell for this specific type of viruses.
Can you bathe children with measles?
you can take a bath as soon as you don't have your fever already...
yes unless you have a fever then no
Yes you can. There is no danger at all.
Yes they can take a bath. In fact, if they are running a high temperature a tepid bath will help reduce the fever. There is a vaccine available to prevent measles.
Can you get measles if you've had 1 MMR jab?
When you get the MMR, your body is supposed to be immune to the measles due to developing an antibody (like a cell marker) to be on standby of the virus measles ever returns.
Sometimes, people do get the measles or mumps even though they have had the vaccine:
My child had a bad case of Measles even though he had the MMR vaccine over a year earlier. I've read that only 95% of children are protected after the first MMR jab, and this increases to 99% after the second.
I had the measles & mumps vaccinations when I was a kid (individual and separate doses) and I still developed mumps when I was 8 and measles when I was 13. The shots don't necessarily work. In fact, I think they are potentially more dangerous than the diseases themself. I recovered fully and had no ill effects from the diseases.
______________________________________________________________
I knew someone who had had the MMR vaccine and she still caught measles when my area had an outbreak of it because her immune system was weak. I got measles too but I hadn't had the jab because measles isn't nomally life-threatening nowadays and it helps to strenghten your immune system. Later there was an outbreak of slapped cheek in my class and I was about the only one who didn't get it.
Can a pregnant woman ge the measles immunization?
If a pregnant woman mistakenly gets the MMR vaccine or conceive within days of getting the vaccine, she should be counseled about the potential theoretical risks to the fetus. Getting the vaccine is not enough ground to terminating the pregnancy. Pregnancy registry of 324 pregnant women who got the vaccine did not show any terotegenicity to the fetus. No baby reported any adverse events due to the vaccine
What is the medical term for 14-day measles?
There are many terms for the 14 day measles, but the most common are:
Measles
Rubeola
How did measles vaccine get its name?
The name "measles" is probably derived from the middle English word, maseles (plural mesels), which means spot.
Can you be a carry of the Measles?
Hey there!
If you had the measles jabs, you should be good to go with no measles infection due to the lifelong immunity.
Also, many research papers have proven that it has no link to autism or turning anyone gay. It is all humbug. And there is also plenty of proof that it is super effective against the virus.
I had my measles jabs and I have never in my entire life got any measles symptoms.
Hopefully, this response was useful for you! 😄
Please get vaccinated!
When did the battle of marathon happen?
We don't seem to know. There was sufficient time for them to fight a 'long drawn out battle' (Herodotos), fight over the departing Persian ships, and then reform and run in full armour the 26 miles over the hills to Athens in time to form up in front of the city to meet the Persian fleet which had rowed around the peninsula to land the cavalry to attack Athens with the expectation that the pro-Persian party inside would open the gates for them.
So it musta started pretty early. And try running the marathon loaded down with armour , shield and weapons, after already running a mile into battle in the first place and fighting for several hours. A tough lot. Today's marathon runners get it easy.
