Rubeola hub Rubeola, also known as Measles, is a viral illness caused by the paramyxovirus. The virus invades the body via blood vessels and reaches surface epithelium first in the respiratory tract where there are only 1-2 layers of epithelial cells then in mucosae (Koplik's spots) and finally in the skin. A characteristic, red blotchy rash appears on the 3rd to 7th day. The rash begins on the face, spreads to the torso and then to the extremities. The disease can be severe, with bronchopneumonia or brain inflammation leading to death in about 2 of every 1,000 cases.

Symptoms Diagnosis Expected Duration ... Additional Info What Is It? Measles, also known as rubeola, is a very contagious respiratory infection that causes cold symptoms, fever and a characteristic rash. It is caused by the measles virus, which usually spreads from person to person through coughs and sneezes, and through contact with used tissues, shared drinking glasses, dirty hands that touched a runny nose, or other contaminated surfaces. Once the virus enters the body, the infection spreads throughout the respiratory tract to the skin and to other body organs.

KidsHealth Parents Infections Signs and Symptoms: Measles, also called rubeola, is best known for its typical skin rash. It is, however, primarily a respiratory infection. The first symptoms are irritability, runny nose, eyes that are red and sensitive to light, hacking cough, and a fever as high as 105 degrees Fahrenheit (40.6 degrees Celsius). Fever peaks with the appearance of the rash, which typically begins on the forehead, then spreads downward over the face, neck, and body. The child is particularly ill-looking during the first days of the rash. It usually takes about 3 days for the rash to make its way down to the feet. Once the rash appears on the legs and feet, symptoms usually subside within 2 days. The rash itself looks like large flat red to brown blotches that often flow into one another to completely cover the skin, especially on the face and shoulders. The rash fades in the same order that it appeared, forehead first and feet last. The total time for the rash, from beginning to end, head to toe, is usually about 6 days. As the rash disappears, the healing skin may look brown temporarily, before it sheds in a finely textured peel. One special identifying sign of measles is Koplik's spots. These are small, red, irregularly-shaped spots with blue-white centers found inside the mouth. Koplik's spots usually appear 1 to 2 days before the measles rash and may be noticed by a doctor looking for the cause of a child's fever and cough.

They are synonymous (exactly the same). The name "measles" comes from the Middle English "maselen" meaning "many little spots" referring to the rash that is characteristic of measles. Rubeola refers specifically to the reddish color of the rash. For this article, we chose the title "MEASLES (RUBEOLA)" in order to distinguish this disease from another that has similar names but is quite different, namely, German measles (rubella). Other names for the measles (rubeola) include the hard measles and (depending on how long you think it lasts) the seven-day measles, the eight-day measles, the nine-day measles, or the ten-day measles, and morbilli.

A characteristic red blotchy rash appears around the third day of illness, beginning on the face and becoming generalized. Measles is frequently complicated by middle ear infection or diarrhea. The disease can be severe, with bronchopneumonia or brain inflammation leading to death in approximately 2 of every 1,000 cases. Occurrence Risk for Travelers The risk of exposure to measles outside the United States could be high. Measles remains a common disease in many countries of the world, including some developed countries in Europe and Asia. Prevention Vaccine Measles vaccine contains live, attenuated measles virus. It is available as a single-antigen preparation or combined with live, attenuated mumps or rubella vaccines, or both. Combined measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine is recommended whenever one or more of the individual components are indicated.

Measles and German measles (known as rubella) are different diseases caused by different viruses. Although mainly a disease of children, measles can affect all age groups. Rubella, also known as German measles or three-day measles, is an infection caused by a virus different from rubeola (measles). In children, rubella infection is much like a mild case of rubeola. But in adults and teenagers, it can be more severe. The striking feature of rubella infection is the marked enlargement and tenderness of your lymph nodes, which is more severe than with rubeola.

(advertisement) Excerpt from Measles, Rubeola Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: rubeola, morbilli, rubeola measles Please click here to view the full topic text: Measles, Rubeola Background: Measles has been called the greatest killer of children in history. Despite the availability of an effective vaccine that was developed more than 30 years ago, the measles virus still affects 50 million people annually and causes more than 1 million deaths. The highest incidence of measles and its associated morbidity and mortality is observed in developing countries. However, it still occurs infrequently in the United States and other industrialized nations. Pathophysiology: The measles virus initially infects the respiratory epithelium and is transmitted via respiratory droplets. It is highly transmissible with an infectivity rate of 76%, even greater than that of varicella. Prior to the measles vaccine, infection with the measles virus was simply considered a part of life. When the measles virus infects the respiratory epithelium, it binds to a cell surface glycoprotein, recently identified as CD46. Instead of replicating in the respiratory epithelium as was once thought, replication appears to occur in the regional lymph nodes according to studies of the live-attenuated vaccine. Replication in the regional lymph nodes eventually leads to viremia. Infection of the endothelial cells ensues, causing an enanthem (Koplik spots). Epithelial cells are infected as well, leading to the well-known skin eruption of measles.

Measles (Rubeola) Self-Care Instructions WHAT IS IT AND WHAT CAUSES IT? Measles is one of the infectious diseases of childhood that causes a skin rash. Other names for it are red measles or seven-day measles. Serious complications, such as pneumonia, croup or encephalitis, can occur. It is caused by a virus. WHAT ARE ITS COMMON SYMPTOMS? The disease starts with a cold, fever, cough, conjunctivitis (red eye) and fatigue. Three days later, a red blotchy rash starts on the face - then spreads to the rest of the body, including the feet. The fever starts to go down on the second or third day of the rash. There may be some fine peeling of the skin after the rash fades. IS IT CONTAGIOUS? Measles is a very contagious disease. It is most common in late winter and early spring. Most people have been exposed to the disease 10-12 days before they have any symptoms. It is spread by coming in contact with the saliva of someone who has the disease through coughing, kissing or sharing of eating utensils. HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?

The infection is spread by contact with droplets from the nose, mouth, or throat of an infected person. The incubation period is 8 to 12 days before symptoms generally appear. Immunity to the disease occurs after vaccination or active infection. Before widespread immunization, measles was so common during childhood that the majority of the population had been infected by age 20. Measles cases dropped over the last several decades to virtually none in the U.S. and Canada because of widespread immunization, but rates have crept up again recently. Some parents are refusing to have their children vaccinated because of fears that the MMR vaccine, which protects against Measles, Mumps, and Rubella, can cause autism.
