title “ Understanding the Causes of Measles” the work have been
medically review by Karen Gill, MD, as publish by www.medicalnewstoday.com. According to the aforementioned source,
Measles is a highly infectious illness caused by the rubeola virus.Measles is a
viral disease that can spread rapidly. Also known as rubeola or morbilli,
measles is an endemic disease, meaning it is continually present in a
community, and many people develop resistance. It is an unpleasant condition but
one that normally passes without treatment within 7 to 10 days. After a bout of
measles, a person gains immunity for the rest of their life. They are very
unlikely to contract measles a second time.
Symptoms
Measles
is often noticed through a breakout of spots.
The
symptoms of measles always include fever
and at least one of the three Cs:
cough
coryza,
or runny nose
Symptoms
will appear about 9 to 11 days after initial infection.
Symptoms
may include:
runny
nose
conjunctivitis,
or swollen eyelids and inflamed eyes
watery
eyes
photophobia,
or sensitivity to light
sneezing
a
reddish-brown rash
Koplik's
spots, or very small grayish-white spots
with bluish-white centers in the mouth, insides of cheeks, and throat
generalized
body aches
There is
often a fever. This can range from mild severe, up to 40.6
degrees Centigrade.
It can last several days, and it may fall and then rise again when the rash
appears.
The
reddish-brown rash appears around 3 to 4 days after initial symptoms. This can
last for over a week.
The rash
usually starts behind the ears and spreads over the head and neck. After a
couple of days, it spreads to the rest of the body, including the legs. As the
spots grow, they often join together.
Most
childhood rashes are not measles, but a child should see a doctor if:
a parent
suspects the child may have measles
symptoms
do not improve, or they get worse
the fever
rises to above 38º Centigrade (ºC) or 100.4º Fahrenheit (ºF)
other
symptoms resolve, but the fever persists
Complications
The measles
vaccine is widely available and is said to have dropped global rates of measles
by over 75 percent.
Complications
from measles are fairly common. Some can be serious.
People most at risk are patients with a weak immune
system, such as those with HIV,
AIDS,
leukemia,
or a vitamin
deficiency, very young children, and adults over the age of 20 years.
Older people
are more likely to have complications than healthy children over the age of 5
years.
Complications
can include:
vomiting
eye infection
respiratory
tract infections, such as laryngitis
and bronchitis
difficulty
breathing
ear
infections, which can lead to permanent hearing loss
Patients with
a weakened immune system who have measles are more susceptible to bacterial pneumonia.
This can be fatal if not treated.
The following
less common complications are also possible:
Hepatitis: Liver complications can occur in adults and in children who are
taking some medications.
Encephalitis: This affects around 1 in every 1,000 patients with measles. It is an inflammation
of the brain that can sometimes be fatal. It may occur soon after measles, or
several years later.
Thrombocytopenia, or low platelet count, affects the blood's ability to clot. The
patient may bruise easily.
Squint: Eye nerves and eye muscles may be affected.
Complications
that are very rare but possible include:
Neuritis, an
infection of the optic nerve that can lead to vision loss
Heart
complications
Subacute
sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE): A brain disease that can affect 2 in every 100,000 people, months or years after
measles infection. Convulsions, motor abnormalities, cognitive issues, and
death can occur.
Other nervous
system complications include toxic encephalopathy, retrobulbar neuritis,
transverse myelitis, and ascending myelitis.
Pregnancy
with an Measles during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage,
early delivery, or low birth weight. A woman who is planning to become pregnant
and has not been vaccinated should ask her doctor for advice.
Types
There are
two types of measles:
Measles:
This is the standard form caused by the rubeola virus.
Rubella,
or German measles: This is caused by the rubella virus.
Rubella
generally presents as mild but presents more of a risk to unborn infants than young
children if a woman contracts the virus while she is pregnant.
It is
neither as infectious nor as severe as standard measles.
The
measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine contains immunizations for both
types.
Causes
Measles
is caused by infection with the rubeola virus. The virus lives in the mucus of
the nose and throat of an infected child or adult.
The disease
is contagious for 4 days before the rash appears, and it continues to be
contagious for about 4 to 5 days after.
Infection
spreads through:
physical
contact with an infected person
being
near infected people if they cough or sneeze
touching
a surface that has infected droplets of mucus and then putting fingers into the
mouth, or rubbing the nose or eyes
The virus
remains active on an object for 2 hours.
How does
a measles infection develop?
As soon
as the virus enters the body, it multiplies in the back of the throat, lungs,
and the lymphatic system. It later infects and replicates in the urinary tract,
eyes, blood vessels, and central
nervous system.
The virus
takes 1 to 3 weeks to establish itself, but symptoms appear between 9 and 11
days after initial infection.
Anyone
who has never been infected or vaccinated is likely to become ill if they
breathe in infected droplets or are in close physical contact with an infected
person.
Approximately
90 percent of people who are not immune will
develop measles if they share a house infected
person.
Treatment.
There is
no specific treatment. If there are no complications, the doctor will recommend
rest and plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration.
Symptoms
usually go away within 7 to 10 days.
The
following measures may help:
If the
child's temperature is high, they should be kept cool, but not too cold.
Tylenol or ibuprofen can help control fever, aches, and pains. Children under
16 years should not take aspirin.
A doctor will advise about acetaminophen dosage, as too much can harm the
child, especially the liver.
People
should avoid smoking near the child.
Sunglasses,
keeping the lights dim or the room darkened may enhance comfort levels, as
measles increases sensitivity to light.
If there
is crustiness around the eyes, gently clean with a warm, damp cloth.
Cough
medicines will not relieve a measles cough. Humidifiers or placing a bowl of
water in the room may help. If the child is over 12 months, a glass of warm
water with a teaspoon of lemon juice and two teaspoons of honey may help. Do
not give honey to infants.
A fever
can lead to dehydration, so the child should drink plenty of fluids.
A child
who is in the contagious stage should stay away from school and avoid close
contact with others, especially those who are not immunized or have never had
measles.
Those
with a vitamin A deficiency and children under 2 years who have measles may
benefit from vitamin A supplements. These can help prevent complications, but
they should only be taken with a doctor's agreement.
Antibiotics
will not help against the measles virus, but they may sometimes be prescribed
if an additional bacterial infection develops.
Diagnosis
A doctor
can normally diagnose measles by looking at the signs and symptoms. A blood
test will confirm the presence of the rubeola virus.
In most
countries, measles is a notifiable disease. The doctor has to notify the
authorities of any suspected cases. If the patient is a child, the doctor will
also notify the school.
A child
with measles should not return to school until at least 5 days after the rash
appears.
Prevention
People
who have already had measles are normally immune and they are unlikely to get
it again.
People
who are not immune should consider the measles vaccine.
