    About

    This fact sheet explains that measles is a highly contagious virus causing fever and rash. It describes the disease's course, symptoms like fever, cough, and rash starting on the face and spreading. Complications can include diarrhea, pneumonia, or even death. High-risk groups are young children, adults over 20, pregnant women, and those with weak immune systems. If measles is suspected in a patient: isolate them immediately; only allow immune healthcare workers to attend; conduct tests for confirmation; report to health authorities promptly. The fact sheet also provides resources for more information on prevention and control measures.
