Symptoms and treatment of measles in children

First, the age of onset was later than that of the past, and the incidence of measles was mostly in children under 5 years old, especially in children 1-2 years old. At present, most of the measles sufferers are infants under 8 months old and school-age children over 7 years old. Adults occasionally have measles. The symptoms of adult measles poisoning are severe, fever is mostly between 39 ℃ and 40 ℃, with measles mucosal spots. Half of the patients have rashes with bleeding tendency, often accompanied by somnolence and other symptoms, but the complications are less, and the prognosis is good.

Second: the number of mild or atypical patients is increasing. The most common form of skin rash is macular papules. There are also other forms of skin rash, such as herpes, hemorrhagic spot like skin rash. The symptoms of fever, upper respiratory tract inflammation and systemic poisoning were mild, often without measles mucosal spots. The rash first appeared in the limbs and gradually developed centripetally to the chest and back.

Third: a small number of people suffer from the second measles, mostly in two years after the first measles. When the first rash occurs, the patient is younger or has been injected with gamma globulin at the beginning of the disease or for other reasons, which fails to stimulate the body to produce sufficient and lasting immunity. Therefore, when the patient encounters the wild strain of measles virus, he will be infected again.
