Measles is a highly contagious viral infection caused by the measles virus, which belongs to the paramyxovirus family. It is characterized by a distinctive rash, high fever, cough, runny nose, and red, inflamed eyes (conjunctivitis). The rash typically starts on the face and spreads to other parts of the body, often beginning as small red spots that merge into larger patches. Measles is transmitted through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes, and it can also spread via direct contact with nasal or throat secretions. The primary cause of measles is infection with the measles virus. Individuals who are not vaccinated or who have not had the disease are at higher risk of contracting measles. The condition is particularly dangerous for young children and can lead to severe complications such as pneumonia, encephalitis, and diarrhea. In rare cases, it can be fatal. The introduction of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine has significantly reduced the incidence of measles, making vaccination the most effective preventive measure.
Treatment for measles mainly focuses on managing symptoms and preventing complications. This includes providing supportive care such as fever reducers, adequate hydration, and rest. Vitamin A supplements are recommended to help reduce the severity of the disease and prevent complications, especially in young children. In severe cases, antiviral medications and hospitalization may be required. Prevention through vaccination is crucial; ensuring that children receive the MMR vaccine according to recommended schedules can effectively protect against measles and its complications.
