summary

When it comes to measles, the first thing we think about is our children. Now it's the high incidence season of measles. Many babies have measles, which makes parents very worried. What they fear is that it's highly infectious and can be transmitted through droplets. The people the baby contacts may be the source of infection. Here, I would like to remind parents that measles is not only for children, but also for adults! Therefore, when taking care of the baby, parents should also pay attention to their own body. If there are symptoms of measles, they must seek medical treatment in time to avoid mutual infection between the baby and parents. In addition, pregnant expectant mothers should pay special attention to the possibility of fetal malformation caused by measles during pregnancy!

How does child give birth to measles to do? Avoid mutual infection?

First: when it comes to measles, we may immediately think of children. As we all know, measles is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by measles virus in childhood. The clinical symptoms included fever, cough, runny nose, conjunctival congestion, oral mucosal spots and skin spot papules. Since the implementation of EPI in 60s, the incidence rate and mortality of measles have been reduced significantly. The measles pandemic is basically under control. However, due to the increase of population mobility, some children's measles vaccine leakage, or immunization failure, coupled with the increase of age after the initial immunization, immunity decreased year by year and other reasons. Measles has been prevalent in some areas of China in recent years, especially the incidence rate of measles in adults is on the rise, reaching the highest level in the past 10 years. Since the spring of this year, our hospital has been treating such patients. The patients are adults aged from 23 to 37.  

Second: the symptoms of adults suffering from measles will be more serious, and there will be more complications. There may be one or two kinds of complications, in addition to the common bronchopneumonia, diarrhea, laryngitis, especially prone to liver function damage. In this way, early misdiagnosis is easy to occur. The main reason is that both doctors and patients do not know enough about adult measles. Once fever occurs, they are eager to use antipyretic agents to affect the eruption and delay the eruption period. They are often misdiagnosed as allergic rash, rubella and drug rash and delay treatment, which is also an important factor in the increase of complications. In general, the prognosis of measles in adults is better than that in children, and the serious complications are reduced.

Third: the understanding of measles used to think that measles was a "lifelong immune disease", that is, everyone would only suffer from measles once in his life. Recent studies have proved that measles is not "lifelong immunity", because as time goes on, the specific measles antibody in the human body will gradually decrease. If there is no chance of re contacting the measles virus for a long time, the measles antibody in the body will eventually disappear. At this time, if you re infect the measles virus, you can get the disease. Therefore, a few people can suffer from the second measles, and the patients suspected of measles can not be dropped With a light heart.

matters needing attention

It should be noted that the source of infection should be controlled as soon as possible after the discovery of measles patients. Measles patients should be isolated to 5 days after the eruption, and those with pneumonia should be isolated to 10 days after the eruption. The measles patients should not blindly cool down, so as not to prolong the course of disease and increase the risk of measles pneumonia. We should try our best to let measles out thoroughly and completely, and put an end to the abuse of antipyretic drugs. It is best to treat reasonably according to the condition under the guidance of doctors.
