Podcast #443: Measles - a timely revisit

Podcast #443: Measles - a timely revisit

Author: Sue Chilton, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Measles is highly contagious
  • Typically patients just look sick
  • Remember 4 & 4, 14, and 4-C's:
    • Contagious 4 days before and after onset of rash
    • 14 days for rash to appear
    • Cough, coryza, conjunctivitis (non-purulent), and Koplik's spots
  • Under 2 and over 20 are highest risk groups
  • 1 in 1000 will die
  • Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis is one of the most feared, degenerative, 100% fatal complications that can occur up to two decades after initial infection

Editor's Note: Don't be pro-plague - if you can, vaccinate your children.
