There is no specific treatment for measles (Measles morbilivirus).

Measles is a highly contagious virus that most often affects children. The measles virus, belonging to the Paramyxoviridae family, is transmitted through airborne droplets and spreads when an infected person coughs.

Measles is widespread throughout the world and can spread quickly among unvaccinated people.

Symptoms of infection appear 10-14 days after contact with the virus.

The first signs include flu-like symptoms: high fever, runny nose, cough, and redness of the eyes.

The characteristic red rash of measles begins behind the ears and spreads to the face, neck, arms, legs, and other parts of the body.

Measles can cause serious complications, especially in people with weakened immune systems. These include serious diseases such as pneumonia, encephalitis, and blindness.
