What Are Measles?
1. Measles
We don’t encounter measles often nowadays, but it used to be far more common than it is now. This is because of the creation of vaccines that helped to all but eradicate the disease in many parts of the world. It is not extinct completely however, and it has even made somewhat of a comeback in recent years.
In most cases, measles will not be dangerous, even if the symptoms can be uncomfortable. It will be fatal in a small number of cases, however, and the diseases’ very high infection rate means it can cause many deaths. It is a different disease to German measles, which is usually milder.
