• #7 Measles: What You Need to Know Now – Pulmonology Advisor

  https://www.pulmonologyadvisor.com/features/measles-what-you-need-to-know/

  Measles infection progresses through several stages. The incubation period lasts approximately 10 to 14 days following exposure, during which patients remain asymptomatic. This is followed by the prodromal phase, characterized by 2 to 4 days of fever (as high as 105F), cough, coryza, and conjunctivitis—the three Cs. Infectivity peaks during this phase. A key diagnostic feature during the prodrome is the appearance of Koplik spots—pathognomonic 1 mm to 2 mm blue-white lesions on the erythematous buccal mucosa, typically near the second molars. These enanthem lesions emerge approximately 2 days before the rash and may persist up to 2 days after its onset. […] The exanthem phase follows and is marked by peaking of fever, catarrhal symptoms (runny nose, sneezing, low-grade fever, and a mild cough), and the appearance of the classic erythematous, nonpruritic, maculopapular rash. The rash typically begins at the hairline and face before spreading to the trunk and extremities in a cephalocaudal and centrifugal pattern. Fever and rash typically subside by the fourth day after rash onset, and the rash fades in order of its appearance. […] Patients may also present with systemic findings, including diarrhea, vomiting, lymphadenopathy, pharyngitis, abdominal pain, splenomegaly, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia. Full disease course spans up to 10 days in an uncomplicated measles infection.

The darker your skin, the more likely you’ll see small raised bumps in the same areas without discoloration. Although it looks painful, a measles rash usually isn’t itchy. […] Overall, you might feel sick for about a week, says the World Health Organization, and the rash could take five to six days to fade away.

About one in every 1,000 children will develop brain swelling called encephalitis, which can cause deafness, convulsions or intellectual disability. Data show that about one to three of every 1,000 kids with measles will die from these complications.
