A 12-year-old child had been home for 10 days after a trip to Haiti when she developed a fever, cough, runny nose, and mild redness of her eyes. She now has a red, slightly raised rash over her face, trunk, and extremities. There are several 1-mm white lesions inside her mouth. She was never immunized for measles because of an irrelevant “egg allergy.”
What disease do you suspect?
What is the disease causing agent?
Homework Answers
As the girl is not immunized for measles, there are many chances she can get the infection. The symptoms of the measles are a cough, runny nose, flu-like symptoms, fever and many of Koplik's spots (a small greyish white spot in the mouth). As the symptoms of the measles match the symptoms of the girls, she can have measles.
The measles is highly ing=fectious and is causes by rubeola virus also known as morbillivirus.
