Surprisingly, in just the first 5 months of 2019 there have been more than 700 cases of people contracting measles. These numbers are so staggering considering that Measles was supposedly eradicated from the United States in 2000.
For starters, Measles is a contagious respiratory tract viral infection usually spread by the saliva or mucous of those infected. The infection is most commonly found in babies and young children but can affect all people of all ages. Measles is typically preventable by getting two doses of the measles vaccine which is 97% effective, however those who have not been vaccinated have a high chance of contracting and spreading the highly-contagious infection. The infection is typically easily treatable through rest, fluid intake, and over-the-counter medications. But, complications of the infection can lead to symptoms ranging from the minor level to catastrophic.
Measles can be severe to anyone who contracts the infection but children under five as well as young adults and teenagers have an increased risk of having complications with the measles infection. Common complications resulting from measles are diarrhea and vomiting, which affects less than 10% of those with measles, and ear infections, which affects 1 in 10 children with Measles. Severe complications could lead to pneumonia, which affects 1 in 20 children, and/or encephalitis, which affects 1 in 1000 children who have measles. Additionally, there are a couple long lasting effects that could result from complications such as Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE). SSPE is a very rare, but fatal disease of the central nervous system resulting from an infection acquired earlier in life. This disease is usually found about 7 to 11 years after contracting the infection, even if the patient fully recovered from Measles. Lastly, in every 1000 cases of children with the measles infection, one or two of the children will die as a result to complications from measles. So, everyone please get your vaccinations because there is no reason for an easily preventable viral infection to have this large of an impact on people’s lives!

Children and adults of certain ages are more likely to suffer from measles complications, which include ear infections and diarrhea.
