Measles is transmitted by airborne droplets. This means that a healthy person can become infected with measles if they inhale, swallow, or allow particles of phlegm or saliva released into the air by a person with the disease to get into their eyes. It has been found that the measles virus can persist in the air or on the surfaces of objects for another 2 hours after a person infected with this infection has been in the room.

A person with measles becomes contagious and can infect others a few days after the first symptoms of the disease (fever) appear and remains contagious for the first 4 days after the rash appears.

Thus, if at the time you were in contact with a person who later got measles, he did not have any symptoms of the disease, you most likely could not get infected from him. On the other hand, the likelihood that you have become infected with measles is very high if you were in contact with a person on days when they had a fever or just developed a rash.

Which people who are infected with measles can get the disease? Can a child or adult who has been vaccinated against the disease get measles? Is it possible to get measles twice?

Typically, measles only affects people who have never had the disease before and have never received a single dose. vaccinations against this infection.

If more than 3 weeks have passed since you were exposed to measles (this is the maximum incubation period Incubation period
measles), but you still haven’t developed any signs of the disease – you don’t need to see a doctor. In this case, you should assume that you either have not become infected or have resistance (immunity) to the disease.

Scientific research has found that if a person receives both doses of the measles vaccine, his body will develop immunity (antibodies) that will last for several decades and will protect him from this disease.

However, in rare cases, people who have been vaccinated against measles can also get measles, but their illness is usually mild.

After a person (child) has had measles, his body, as after vaccination, develops a strong immunity against this infection. In this regard, people rarely get measles again (twice).

What can a doctor do to prevent someone who has already contracted the infection from developing measles?

In the first days after a person is infected, the measles virus slowly multiplies in the cells lining the nose, throat and trachea, without causing any symptoms. In medicine this period is called incubation period Incubation period- this is the period of time between the moment the infection enters the human body and the moment the first symptoms of the disease appear.
For many viral respiratory tract infections, such as influenza, the incubation period is 1-3 days (that is, the first symptoms of the disease appear 1-3 days after infection with the virus). For other infections, the incubation period can vary from a few days (less often hours) to several weeks, months or years. measles

After 7-10 days of reproduction (maximum after 21 days), the virus begins to penetrate the blood and spread throughout the body, causing fever, rash (and possibly complications).

In this regard, in order to prevent the development of measles in a person who has already become infected with this infection, doctors can either give the person measles vaccination(after vaccination, antibodies against this infection quickly appear in the blood), or give the person an injection of serum containing ready-made antibodies against the measles virus.

If you go to your doctor and tell them that you or your child may have been exposed to measles, the doctor will do the following:

1. He will ask you to show him the records in your medical record to see if there is any mention of a measles vaccine you received as a child or that you have already had measles;
2. If there are such records, then no treatment will be needed, since people who have received the vaccine (or who have had this disease once) rarely get measles.
   If there is no record of vaccination or history of measles, your doctor will prescribe a special test that will help determine whether you have antibodies against the measles virus in your blood.
3. If the test shows that you have antibodies against measles in your blood, then no treatment will be needed, since people who have antibodies against measles are well protected from this infection.
   If the test shows that you do not have antibodies against the measles virus, the doctor will have to give you an injection of serum (immunoglobulin) and then (after 5-6 months) give you a measles vaccine.
4. If by the time you see a doctor you already have the first symptoms of measles (see below), then getting a vaccine or serum injection will be useless. In this case, the doctor will only have to explain to you what can be done to make it easier to endure the period of illness and in which case you need to urgently seek help. This is discussed in detail below.

What should I do if I (or my child) already have measles?

What symptoms and signs should be considered normal for measles? How long can measles last?

The first symptoms (signs) of measles may resemble a cold or flu: a sick person suddenly develops a fever (up to 39-40 C), and after a few days a cough, runny nose, red eyes (conjunctivitis) and a skin rash appear.

Measles rash appears as red spots (the spots may be flat or slightly raised) that first appear on the scalp, face and neck and then gradually spread to the torso, arms and legs. Individual spots may enlarge and merge with each other, forming large red spots. 5-6 days after its appearance, the rash begins to disappear in the same order in which it appeared. The rash disappears first on the head and neck, then on the torso, arms and legs. After the rash, no traces remain on the skin.

Children with measles sometimes experience vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain.

In some cases, in the mouth of children (and adults) with measles, white spots appear on the inner surface of the cheeks, which in medicine are called Koplik spots. These spots remain on the inner surface of the cheeks for no more than 18 hours and then disappear without a trace.

Temperature during measles persists, on average, for 1 week.

The measles rash can persist for about 7-10. The rash does not need to be smeared with anything. About 4 days after the rash appears, a person is no longer contagious.

Cough with measles does not need to be treated. It can persist throughout the entire period of illness and for another 1-2 weeks after the rash disappears.

What symptoms and signs may indicate that measles is developing aggressively? What consequences and complications can measles cause?

During clinical observations of large groups of people with measles, it was found that this infection especially often causes complications

• in children under 5 years of age
• in adults over 20 years of age
• in pregnant women
• in people with reduced immunity The category of patients with immunodeficiency (weakened immunity) includes:
  people who are infected with HIV or have AIDS,
  people who have diabetes,
  people who have cancer and are receiving treatment for cancer (chemo-, radiotherapy),
  people who are taking treatment with glucocorticoid drugs or other drugs that reduce the activity of the immune system (for example, Methotrexate, Azathioprine, Mercaptopurine, etc.),
  people who have had an internal organ transplant and are taking medications to suppress transplant rejection,
  people who suffer from chronic diseases of internal organs: chronic renal failure, chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, heart failure..

6% of people with measles develop pneumonia (pneumonia). As you know, pneumonia belongs to the category of extremely dangerous diseases and in some cases, even with adequate treatment, it leads to the death of the sick person.

Another dangerous complication of measles can be inflammation of the brain tissue (encephalitis). This complication develops in approximately 0.1-0.3% of people infected with measles. Encephalitis can lead to the death of the sick person or to various neurological disorders (paralysis of some part of the body, speech impairment, epilepsy, etc.).

Measles can also cause inflammation of the ears (otitis media), inflammation and destruction of eye tissue, and can lead to blindness.

Five to ten years ago there was an assumption that measles as an independent disease would completely disappear. The World Health Organization has set itself the goal of eliminating this nosological entity by 2010.

Thanks to vaccination and revaccination, the number of cases in some countries has been reduced. But, due to the fact that many parents refused to vaccinate their children, the number of cases not only did not decrease, but increased significantly. The incidence in our country has increased by 5%-10%.

Today, measles causes 4% of childhood deaths in children under five years of age. The disease is dangerous because it causes serious complications from the bronchopulmonary system, meningoencephalitis, encephalitis. Intrauterine infection is also possible.

Measles infection mechanism

The disease is transmitted through the air when the virus enters the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract. It should be noted that the virus loves cells located in the respiratory system, digestive organs and, most importantly, the central nervous system.

The main source of infection is a sick child or adult who has been diagnosed with a typical or atypical form of the disease. The virus is released into the environment when coughing or sneezing (transmission route is airborne, only from person to person). The patient may be at risk as early as 10-14 days after the virus enters the body. At this time, nonspecific processes begin to form in the nasopharynx: redness and swelling of the mucous membrane. Body temperature rises to high levels. The patient also remains infectious for 4-6 days after the onset of specific rashes.

The measles virus, like the chickenpox virus, is very volatile. It can easily travel significant distances through the air and penetrate into neighboring rooms or apartments that are connected by common corridors or a ventilation system.

In the open air or on the surfaces of various objects, the measles virus remains active for up to two hours. It dies very quickly when exposed to ultraviolet radiation.

Vaccination: timing and immunity

The first measles vaccine was developed in 1920. It was the human serum of a person who had recovered from the disease. After it began to be used everywhere, the number of cases of this dangerous infection decreased significantly.

In 1960, the first domestic live vaccine was developed. At the moment it is used everywhere, but in a more modern, modernized form.

Routine vaccination is carried out at the age of 12-15 months, revaccination – at 6 years (in the absence of objective contraindications).

The measles vaccine is usually combined with rubella and mumps vaccination. Before vaccination, a Mantoux test is performed (or 6 weeks after vaccination).

There are also emergency situations when there is a deviation from the schedule of preventive vaccinations:

• infection of close relatives (all contacts up to 40 years of age are vaccinated; children, starting from the age of 12 months, are not vaccinated or those who do not have documented data on professional vaccinations);
• if the mother does not have antibodies to the measles virus (the first vaccination is carried out at the age of 8 months, repeated at the age of one and a half years, and then according to the vaccination calendar). This scheme is most often used in places with a tense epidemic situation for measles. In extreme cases, vaccination of children starting from six months of age is permitted.

It is important to know: the main purpose of immunization is to protect children under five years of age from possible infection with the measles virus. Since it is during this period that the most dangerous complications may arise.

There is a medical opinion that after double immunization has been carried out, the child receives protection from the virus for 12-20 years.

Two types of vaccines are used for vaccination. These are monovaccine and combination vaccines. Combined ones include antibodies against three diseases at once: measles, rubella, and mumps. There are imported and domestic vaccines. The main difference is that the imported drug is prepared using chicken embryos (contraindicated for those who have an allergic reaction to chicken egg whites). The positive aspect of the imported vaccine is that it is available in a very convenient combined form.

Parents often have a question: “If a mother has suffered from measles, can she pass on immunity against this virus to her child and is it necessary to carry out routine vaccination for the baby in this situation?” The answer is only positive. Yes, the mother passes on the antibodies she has developed against the disease, which can work in her child’s body for up to one year. This moment influences the calendar timing of preventive vaccinations.

The second most frequently asked question is: “Can you get measles if you are vaccinated?” And this question can be answered in the affirmative. Anyone can become infected, regardless of age. Only the frequency of infection among vaccinated people will be significantly lower - up to 5% of the total number of cases. And the disease will be much easier.

Very often, the virus enters the body of a person who has only had one vaccination (strong immunity may simply not be developed).

In addition, immunity weakens with age. And after 10-15 years, infection is also possible.

The question often arises: “Should adults be vaccinated?” Yes, we should. Vaccination should be completed if there is accurate evidence that the patient has not had measles or did not receive preventive vaccination in childhood. In any other cases, it is recommended to test for the presence of antibodies in the body to this infection. And if they are absent, rush to the doctor for a vaccination schedule.

Disease prevention

The most effective method of prevention at the moment is vaccination. Only the introduction of live active viruses in a greatly weakened concentration can protect a person from infection. The concentration of the virus is so low that it cannot cause significant harm to the vaccinated person or the people around him.

Vaccination provides immunity, which is somewhat weaker than if the patient had suffered the disease itself (vaccinated child: 90% - first vaccination, 95%-98% - after revaccination). But it is also enough to reliably protect the child from a dangerous infection.

If the child is not vaccinated, he is six months old, and he has been in contact with a person with measles, then in this case it is necessary to administer a live measles vaccine within the next two to three days.

If in the above situation there are contraindications for active immunization or the child is under six months of age, then human immunoglobulin is administered as a preventive method (contains active antibodies taken from the serum of a person who has recovered from the disease). This immunization is called passive and lasts for two to three months.

The widespread refusal to vaccinate has led to the fact that the incidence of measles is “creeping” upward. In order to prevent the virus from taking over humanity, we need to reconsider our attitude towards vaccination and vaccinate our children.

The incidence of measles is increasing in Barnaul. As the chief freelance epidemiologist of the Ministry of Health of the Altai Territory, Irina Pereladova, told Amitel news agency, since the beginning of 2018, eight laboratory-confirmed cases of measles have been registered in the city. A year ago, only one case was reported. Irina Pereladova told Amitel news agency about the symptoms of this disease, how dangerous it is, and also how to avoid getting sick.

What is measles, how contagious and dangerous is it?

Measles is an acute infectious viral disease with a high level of susceptibility, the infectivity index approaches 100%. This means that almost 100% of unvaccinated and never-sick children and adults will definitely catch this disease if they come into contact with someone with measles.

What complications can measles cause?

With measles, complications associated with the functioning of the central nervous system, respiratory system and gastrointestinal tract are possible, including: laryngitis, croup (stenosis of the larynx), tracheobronchitis, otitis media, primary measles pneumonia, secondary bacterial pneumonia, measles encephalitis, hepatitis, lymphadenitis, mesenteric lymphadenitis.

A fairly rare late complication is subacute sclerosing panencephalitis.

What are the symptoms of measles?

The incubation period is 21 days from the day of contact with a measles patient.

Symptoms: a sharp rise in temperature to 38-40.5 degrees; dry cough; photophobia; headache; hoarseness or hoarseness of the voice; disturbances of consciousness, delirium; disturbances in intestinal function; swelling of the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract; symptoms of conjunctivitis: swelling of the eyelids, redness around the eyes; the appearance of red spots in the mouth - on the palate, the inner surface of the cheeks; on the second day of illness, small white spots appear on the mucous membranes of the oral cavity. The exanthema itself (rash) appears on the fourth or fifth day; it typically appears on the face and neck, behind the ears, then on the body and on the folds of the arms, legs, fingers, palms and feet.

Measles and rubella are very similar. How to distinguish them?

Measles rash is a special papules surrounded by a spot and tending to merge. This is what distinguishes it from rubella, in which the rash does not drain. After the fourth day of the rash, when the virus is defeated, the rash gradually disappears: it darkens, becomes pigmented, and begins to peel off. The areas with the rash will remain hyperpigmented for another 1-2 weeks.

How is measles treated?

There is no specific treatment for measles. As with all viral infections, the doctor will provide symptomatic treatment to alleviate the condition and prevent the risks of complications.

Usually prescribed: drugs that reduce fever and relieve general malaise and pain. Aerosols against inflammation and gargling with chamomile, special antiseptic preparations; mucolytics and expectorants for dry cough. To relieve symptoms of rhinitis and reduce the risk of developing otitis media, use special vasoconstrictor drops in the nose and rinse with saline solution.

To reduce the risk of developing blindness, patients are recommended to take vitamin A throughout the entire period of illness.

And in case of pneumonia development, antibacterial drugs are prescribed.

Can a person get measles again?

Unlikely. However, according to the World Health Organization, the incidence of re-infection with measles is currently 2-4% in those people who once had a mild form of it in the past, as a result of which immunity turned out to be unstable and not lifelong. People who have had a typical form of measles, as a rule, do not become infected again, since immunity to infection is very stable and lasts throughout life.

How effective is the measles vaccine?

The measles vaccine is very effective. After one dose, 85% of nine-month-old children and 95% of twelve-month-old children are immune. Almost everyone who does not develop immunity after the first dose becomes immune after the second dose.

Once vaccination coverage in an area is greater than 95%, measles outbreaks typically no longer occur, but they may reappear if vaccination coverage declines. The protective effect of the vaccine lasts for many years. In addition, non-routine immunization may protect against measles disease when administered within three days of exposure to a person with measles.

Who needs to be vaccinated against measles?

In Russia, a national calendar of preventive vaccinations for epidemic indications has been approved, which identifies risk groups of the population for immunization against measles. Vaccination and revaccination are necessary:

Children from 1 year to 18 years inclusive

Adults up to and including 35 years of age

Adults from 36 to 55 who work in medical and educational organizations, in trade and transport enterprises, and work in the public utilities and social sphere. And also to all those working on a rotational basis and employees of state control bodies at checkpoints across the state border of Russia.

The first vaccination is given to children under one year of age. Repeated vaccination is carried out at six years of age. But adults sometimes need a booster vaccination against measles.

Is it true that many parents refuse to vaccinate their children against measles?

No. Few parents refuse vaccination against measles. Today, more than 95% of children are vaccinated; this is a fairly high immune layer. But some parents still do not vaccinate their children against measles. Refusals are most often associated with religious beliefs, fear of vaccinations, negative information in Internet blogs, etc.

How safe are measles vaccines and what are the possible complications?

Measles vaccines used for immunization in the Russian Federation are officially registered and have documented safety of use.

For immunoprophylaxis of measles, a live attenuated vaccine is usually used.

After administration of the vaccine, some children and adults may experience a rapid local reaction that bothers the child for no more than two days. It is characterized by slight tissue swelling and redness at the injection site. General reactions are also possible - hyperemia or redness of the pharynx, a slight runny nose, a rare mild cough, or the development of inflammation of the mucous membrane of the eye.

What are the contraindications for measles vaccination?

1. Severe forms of allergic reactions to aminoglycosides (gentamicin sulfate, etc.), chicken and/or quail eggs.

2. Primary immunodeficiency conditions, malignant blood diseases and neoplasms.

3. Severe reaction (temperature rise above 40 °C, swelling, hyperemia more than 8 cm in diameter at the injection site) or complication to a previous administration of measles or mumps-measles vaccines.

4. Pregnancy.

A child or adult must obtain permission to get vaccinated from their local pediatrician or therapist.

The debate about the dangers and benefits of vaccination will probably never end. Both supporters of vaccinations and opponents are trying to convict their opponents of lies, falsification of facts, incompetence and corruption. In fact, this question is, of course, very serious and requires an honest conversation, without mutual insults and labeling. I will try to weigh the pros and cons in this way.

To believe or not to believe in vaccinations?

Let me start with the fact that the majority of so-called anti-vaxxers are not against vaccinations in general, but against thoughtless general vaccination. Few anti-vaxxers argue that vaccination is an absolute evil. It’s just that doctors honestly warn about the complications and side effects that vaccinations can cause.

Nowadays, when traditional medicine is gradually turning from the field of health into business, there are a lot of abuses, including in the topic of vaccination. A person who is going to get vaccinated must have reliable information about many things: about the quality of the vaccine, about possible complications, about the readiness of his particular immunity to artificial intervention. It would also be nice to have an idea of ​​how this or that vaccine generally works, what its effectiveness is, and what contraindications it may have. Of course, to understand all this, you need to be not just a doctor, but a good immunologist and have access to real statistical data on many issues. So it is clear that for the vast majority of people this is not possible. So it turns out that for us, non-specialists, this is more a matter of faith. Or gullibility.

What do the experts say? Anti-vaxxers argue that only ignorant people can oppose vaccination. But that's not true. Many doctors, including immunologist professors, doctors of medical and biological sciences, talk about exactly why vaccinations are dangerous.

Even Russia's former chief sanitary doctor, Gennady Onishchenko, an ardent supporter of universal vaccination, warns of possible abuses in this area. In the TVC film “The Weak Must Die,” Onishchenko says that “a number of transnational companies, taking advantage of the imperfections of our legislation, were testing vaccines on our children. One example is the cervical cancer vaccine... We are turning into a third world country where vaccine trials are conducted on people” (29-30 minutes of recording). And at 36-37 minutes Onishchenko says that the problem is that “we are holding on on our last legs (we are not investing anything in our immunobiological potential) ... We are forced to curtail our immunobiological production ... and make us dependent on foreign supplies.” Please note, this is not the grandmother on the bench speaking, but a man who for a long time was the chief sanitary doctor of the Russian Federation. At one time he even wanted to limit the right of parents to refuse vaccinations. Fortunately, this did not happen.

I won’t write here what other dangers of vaccination experts warn about; all this information is available on the Internet. Although quite often it is misinterpreted by illiterate people, you can figure it out if you want. This is on the one hand. On the other hand, such serious diseases as measles, diphtheria, tetanus, and polio, unfortunately, have not sunk into oblivion. On the contrary, some of them began to remind themselves more and more often. But diseases are truly terrible, after which people often become disabled or die.

So what should we do then? Who to believe? To the one who speaks more beautifully and more convincingly? Most often we do this. I see this in myself and in those around me. About twenty years ago I was very convincingly told about the dangers of vaccinations. And I decided not to vaccinate my children. Then you could afford it, because there were practically no epidemics, and the likelihood of getting sick from “vaccine” diseases was very small. But this does not mean that I am against vaccinations in general. Of course not. If there is a threat of an epidemic, then vaccinations are, of course, needed. The main thing is not to miss the right moment, as happened with measles.

Usually, the lesser of two evils is chosen. But how do you know where the lesser evil is? What is more likely: to get a complication from the vaccine or to encounter this disease and become infected with it? It is impossible to answer this question accurately, especially when there are no epidemics. Therefore, you cannot force a person to get vaccinated. Each person must make this choice himself, because he will be responsible himself: he will have to pay for mistakes either with his health, or with the health of his children (and this, believe me, is even more painful).

How we got measles

In connection with measles outbreaks in our area, many schools even held parent meetings on the topic of immunization. At such a meeting, a friend sitting next to me suddenly told me in a frightened whisper:

“You know, they say there was a case of measles at our school.” Even, it seems, in our class!

- I know. It was us...

Alas, I only learned that measles had appeared in Russia when first my children got sick, then my husband and I got sick. Children, as I already wrote, were not vaccinated at all. And they were very sick. My husband and I were vaccinated against measles as children, and we were sick in a milder form: without a rash, but also with a fever and severe headaches. Our grandmother, who had measles in early childhood, did not become infected with it even in a mild form.

“In the isolation ward where sick children were admitted, there was a huge queue in which numerous patients were constantly sniffling, sneezing and coughing. To avoid catching anything else, we went home.”

We got sick at the beginning of September last year. At first, symptoms of a common cold appeared, but without fever. It was beautiful sunny weather outside, and my two youngest daughters and I went to the clinic. I couldn’t even think about the fact that it was measles. In the isolation ward where sick children were admitted, there was a huge queue in which numerous patients were constantly sniffling, sneezing and coughing. To avoid catching anything else, we went home. And thanks to this, no one was infected with measles then. After us, there were no cases of measles in our clinic.

And the next day, both daughters were already lying with a high (under forty) temperature, which was very difficult to control with antipyretic drugs.

Our local doctor, of course, scolded us for not giving our children vaccinations. But, interestingly, she didn’t vaccinate herself against measles either! Or rather, she did, but only after contacting us. Because after contact with people with measles, in order not to get sick, you can (and should) get vaccinated within 72 hours.

We had to become prisoners for a week in the infectious diseases department of our Central District Hospital. By the way, I don’t know why our “infectious disease” is criticized by everyone. I liked the conditions. Everything is new, after renovation. Thorough cleaning twice a day. Food was brought directly to the ward. Well, beauty, almost a five-star hotel! The food, however, was not very tasty. But they gave us a lot of bread - to the delight of the birds who flew to our window to eat.

The school principal calls. We just left the hospital, but we are sitting at home in quarantine.

- Why did you suddenly get measles? Have you had any vaccinations?

- They didn’t.

- Why didn’t they do it? You're sick, but they're dragging us down. Because of you, the school has become famous throughout the region! And where did you catch measles?

Oh, I heard this question, where did we manage to get measles, more than a dozen times during that month. I wonder how I can know this? The person who “gave” us this virus probably didn’t even know at that time that he was sick. Because in the last days of the incubation period, measles, unfortunately, is already contagious.

Childhood vaccinations. Notes from a local pediatrician

By the way, anyone who wants to properly understand the issues of vaccination, I advise you to start with Tatyana Shiposhina’s book “Children’s vaccinations. Notes from a local pediatrician."

The author of the book, a pediatrician with extensive experience, has an open, sincere conversation with parents. Despite the fact that the author is “for vaccinations” (but without fanaticism), he does not hide the fact that there are complications from vaccinations, and gives specific advice to parents: what to do to reduce the likelihood of these complications to a minimum.

The information was very interesting about how immunity works, how vaccines work in the body - everything is explained very simply and clearly.

Weigh the advantages and disadvantages

A friend calls to ask for advice on whether to vaccinate their children against measles. In their family, where the parents, by the way, are doctors, they are also wary of vaccinations. Asks me:

“They say there have been cases of measles in our city.” Don't you know anything about this?

- Yes, I know! We are among them...

I didn’t give any specific advice. She only said that I personally would have vaccinated my children if I had known about measles outbreaks earlier. An acquaintance approached the issue very responsibly. First, they conducted a small examination to ensure against complications. And only then were they vaccinated against measles. In my opinion, an example worthy of imitation.

The conclusion is this: both supporters of vaccinations and their opponents often have opposing data on the same issue. It is almost impossible to verify the reliability of the information: there are enough lies on both sides. Therefore, everyone decides for themselves how to feel about vaccination.

And one more thing. Let's stop insulting those who are afraid to get vaccinated. Whatever they are called: liars, obscurantists, sectarians, marginals, idiots. Firstly, getting personal is a sign of a weak position. And secondly, anyone who tries to humiliate others first of all humiliates himself.

Any choice must be thoughtful and balanced. Especially when it concerns the health of a child. And especially now, when outbreaks of some dangerous diseases have appeared in Russia. Because both in the case of a serious illness of an unvaccinated child, and in the case of severe complications from vaccinations, the responsibility clearly lies not with the doctors, but with the parents.
