MEASLES IN CHILDREN WITH COMORBIDITIES: CLINICAL PRESENTATION, RISKS, AND MANAGEMENT
Abstract
Measles is a highly contagious, vaccine-preventable disease caused by the measles virus. Although healthy children typically experience an acute, self-limiting illness, measles can be more severe or prolonged in those with underlying comorbidities. This article examines how different comorbid conditions—ranging from malnutrition and immunodeficiency to chronic respiratory and cardiac diseases—influence the clinical course, complications, and management strategies for measles in pediatric patients [1]. Emphasis is placed on preventive measures, including comprehensive immunization and supportive therapies such as vitamin A supplementation [2].
