Measles can lead to severe respiratory problems, including pneumonia, which is one of the most common causes of death in measles cases. Pneumonia can be particularly dangerous in young children and individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions.
Measles can cause inflammation of the brain (encephalitis) or its coverings (meningitis), leading to seizures, brain damage, and even death. Neurological complications are more common in young children and can result in long-term disabilities. It can increase the risk of middle ear infections (otitis media), which can lead to hearing loss if not promptly treated.
Measles can cause conjunctivitis (pink eye) and in severe cases, lead to corneal scarring and vision impairment.It can weaken the immune system for several weeks to months, making individuals more susceptible to other infections, such as bacterial pneumonia and diarrhea.
Measles can worsen malnutrition, especially in developing countries, leading to delayed recovery and increased susceptibility to other infections. In severe cases, measles can be fatal, particularly in young children and individuals with compromised immune systems.
Vaccination with the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine is the most effective way to prevent measles and its potential harms, protecting both individuals and communities through herd immunity.
Vaccines don’t just protect you — they also protect the people around you.
