Abstract: Measles (rubeola) is a highly contagious vaccinepreventable disease caused by the measles virus-a virus of the Paramyxoviridae family. The illness typically begins with fever, runny nose, cough, and pathognomonic enanthem (Koplik spots) followed by a characteristic erythematous, maculopapular rash. The rash classically begins on the face and becomes more confluent as it spreads cephalocaudally. Laboratory confirmation of measles virus infection can be based on a positive serological test for measles-specific i… Show more

“…It may not be a strong explanation for this situation, but in some infectious diseases, the role of gender is an important determinant (8). The clinical presentations, the same signs and complaints, were as described in literature (3,4,6,7,(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15). In this study, fever was presented during the emergency room presentations or during the first 24 h in 98.7% of cases.…”

“…In this study, fever was presented during the emergency room presentations or during the first 24 h in 98.7% of cases. Typically, morbilliform exanthema appeared 3-4 days after the onset of fever and peaked with the appearance of exanthema, which consists of blanching, erythema, macules, and papules that classically begin on the face and then cover all the body (14). In this study, rash was present in 100% of patients.…”

“…Pneumonitis in measles patients takes two forms: primary by viral measles infection and secondary by bacterial or other viral coinfections. Chest X-ray findings were not specific and included ground glass opacities, consolidation, interlobular septal thickening, and bronchial or bronchiolar wall thickening (11,14,15,19,20). As previously noted, patients with pneumonia often need oxygen therapy in combination with prednisolone use.…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…Both patients who died (8.69%) had bronchopneumonia and myocarditis as complications. Neurological complications include febrile seizures, primary measles encephalitis, acute post-infectious encephalomyelitis, measles inclusion body encephalitis, and subacute sclerosing panencephalitis [17]. In our patients, there were no serious acute neurological complications.…”

“…The normal pigmentation of a measles patient's skin can also be used to predict the hyperpigmentation process. However, this hyperpigmentation feature may not always be seen in Caucasian people [16,17].…”
