Signs and Symptoms Patients tend to appear moderately ill and uncomfortable because of their viral prodromal symptoms. The Koplik spots are 1-2 mm, blue-gray macules on an eythematous base. The measles rash is a Maculopapular eythematous rash that involves the palms and soles. Lesion density is greatest above the shoulders, where macular lesions may coalesce Typically begins at the hairline and spreads caudally over the next 3 days as the prodromal symptoms resolve. The rash lasts 4-6 days and then fades from the head downward. Desquamation may be present but is generally not severe. Complete recovery from the illness generally occurs within 7-10 days from the onset of the rash

Modes of Transmission Measles is spread through respiration (contact with fluids from an infected person's nose and mouth, either directly or through aerosol transmission), and is highly contagious90% of people without immunity sharing a house with an infected person will catch it. The infection has an average incubation period of 14

days (range 6-19 days) and infectivity lasts from 2-4 days prior to 2-5 days following the onset of the rash.

RISK FACTORS FOR INFECTION Children with immunodeficiency due to HIV or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), leukemia, alkylating agents, or corticosteroid therapy, regardless of immunization status Travel to areas where measles is endemic or contact with travellers to endemic areas Infants who lose passive antibody prior to the age of routine immunization

TREATMENT Severe complications from measles can be avoided though supportive care that ensures good nutrition, adequate fluid intake and treatment of dehydration with WHO-recommended oral rehydration solution (to replace fluids and other essential elements lost from diarrhoea or vomiting). Antibiotics should be prescribed to treat eye and ear infections, and pneumonia.
