The prevalence of measles, a highly contagious disease caused by a specific virus, has been increasing recently. The initial symptoms of measles include high fever, followed by other symptoms such as nausea, cough, and rash. The virus spreads through airborne droplets or contact with infected individuals. Complications of measles can be severe, including pneumonia and encephalitis. The World Health Organization has reported a significant rise in measles cases in Europe, primarily due to declining vaccination rates. In the context of pediatric dentistry, infection control strategies and awareness of measles symptoms are crucial to prevent transmission in dental settings. Dentists should inquire about vaccination status and stay informed about local measles cases to ensure patient safety. [Extracted from the article] |
