Clinical features
Measles is an acute viral respiratory illness. It is characterized by:
- A prodrome of fever (as high as 105°F), malaise, and cough, coryza, and conjunctivitis (three "C"s)
- A pathognomonic enanthema (Koplik spots)
- Followed by a maculopapular rash
The rash usually appears about 14 days after a person is exposed.
The rash spreads from the head to the trunk to the lower extremities.
Patients are considered to be contagious from 4 days before to 4 days after the rash appears. Sometimes immunocompromised patients do not develop the rash.
