Introduction
Measles is a highly contagious disease caused by the morbillivirus virus. It is spread through airborne respiratory droplets, and can be transmitted when an infected person breathes, coughs or sneezes. It can cause severe disease, leading to complications and death. Measles primarily infects the respiratory tract and then spreads throughout the body, causing symptoms such as a high fever, cough, runny nose and a rash all over the body.
