Measles cases in Texas continue to grow. The latest data show there have been 124 confirmed cases in the state, primarily in West Texas. Of these, 18 have required hospitalization. Almost all the cases have occurred in unvaccinated individuals, with the majority of cases being in children.

Measles is one of the most contagious viruses known. Outbreaks will become more frequent as more children go unvaccinated. When less than 95% of the population is unvaccinated, the virus will be able to spread and cause outbreaks.

Symptoms typically start 7-14 days after exposure with high fever, cough, runny nose, and conjunctivitis (red eyes). 2 to 3 days later, white spots might appear in the mouth, which are known as Koplik spots. 3 to 5 days after symptoms begin the rash will start. It starts as red spots at the hairline and then spreads downward.

Complications are frequent with measles. 10% of kids develop ear infections. 5% of children get pneumonia, which is the most common cause of death in young children. 1 out of every 1,000 children gets encephalitis (infection and swelling of the brain). Death occurs in 1 to 3 of every 1,000 children infected.

Long term complications can follow the measles. Measles has been shown to cause an impairment of immunity, leading to an increased incidence and severity of infections. It can also lead to neurological deterioration months to years after the infection, a condition known as Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE).

The providers at Beaumont Pediatric Center remain committed to getting children vaccinated against measles and other pathogens. Routine MMR vaccination is given as two doses, the first at 12 months of age and the second at 4 years of age.
