Measles
Measles is a highly contagious viral disease that causes a rash and fever. It is caused by the measles virus, which is spread through contact with infected individuals or by inhaling the virus through airborne droplets. Measles is highly contagious and can spread rapidly through schools and other settings.
Symptoms of measles include a high fever, runny nose, red eyes, cough, and a rash that appears as small, red bumps that spread across the body. Measles can be fatal if not treated promptly.
Treatment for measles is supportive and includes rest, fluids, and pain relievers. There is no specific cure, but the virus usually resolves on its own within a few weeks.
Prevention of measles includes vaccination with the measles vaccine. The measles vaccine is safe and effective and can help prevent severe illness and death
