DEFINITION OF
MEASLES
CAUSE OF MEASLES
Measles is an infection caused by a virus from the paramyxovirus family.
Transmission generally occurs through saliva splashes released by an
infected person when he sneezes and coughs. Anyone who inhales the
splash of saliva will catch measles. The virus itself can survive for
several hours and easily attaches to objects. If someone touches an object
that has been contaminated with the measles virus, it is highly likely that
he or she will be infected.
CAUSE AND EFFECT
DUE TO MEASLES
Until now, there is no specific treatment to cure measles, either in infants and
children, or adults. Measles is caused by a viral infection that is not sensitive
to antibiotics. The virus and the symptoms that appear usually go away in
about 2-3 weeks .
