I case i had- young male with Measles:

Measles (Morbilli) is a highly infectious viral disease. It is caused by a type of viruses and may sometimes lead to serious complications. It is periodically active every four years. How is measles transmitted? Measles is transmitted through the respiratory system of the injured person by the sprays flying while coughing, sneezing; or through the direct contact with the nose and mouth fluids. Disease symptoms: After the incubation period lapsed, the disease symptoms start to appear. They range from rise in the body temperature to 39 degrees or more and for 3-4 days, along with severe runny nose, dry cough, and eye redness to the beginning of the rash appearance. The rash is red spots spreading over the face then it extends to the neck and upper extremities of the body, down to the trunk and the rest of the body. And it lasts up to the seventh day, then these symptoms begin to gradually disappear. Most of the measles-injured persons fully recover and develop immunity against the virus causing the disease, Allah willing. In addition to this, some of the persons afflicted with measles are vulnerable for having the complications aggravated such as getting injured with otitis media, tracheitis, or pneumonia.
