KidsHealth Parents Infections Signs and Symptoms: Measles, also called rubeola, is best known for its typical skin rash. It is, however, primarily a respiratory infection. The first symptoms are irritability, runny nose, eyes that are red and sensitive to light, hacking cough, and a fever as high as 105 degrees Fahrenheit (40.6 degrees Celsius). Fever peaks with the appearance of the rash, which typically begins on the forehead, then spreads downward over the face, neck, and body. The child is particularly ill-looking during the first days of the rash. It usually takes about 3 days for the rash to make its way down to the feet. Once the rash appears on the legs and feet, symptoms usually subside within 2 days. The rash itself looks like large flat red to brown blotches that often flow into one another to completely cover the skin, especially on the face and shoulders. The rash fades in the same order that it appeared, forehead first and feet last. The total time for the rash, from beginning to end, head to toe, is usually about 6 days. As the rash disappears, the healing skin may look brown temporarily, before it sheds in a finely textured peel. One special identifying sign of measles is Koplik's spots. These are small, red, irregularly-shaped spots with blue-white centers found inside the mouth. Koplik's spots usually appear 1 to 2 days before the measles rash and may be noticed by a doctor looking for the cause of a child's fever and cough.

Symptoms Diagnosis Expected Duration ... Additional Info What Is It? Measles, also known as rubeola, is a very contagious respiratory infection that causes cold symptoms, fever and a characteristic rash. It is caused by the measles virus, which usually spreads from person to person through coughs and sneezes, and through contact with used tissues, shared drinking glasses, dirty hands that touched a runny nose, or other contaminated surfaces. Once the virus enters the body, the infection spreads throughout the respiratory tract to the skin and to other body organs.

Search September 9, 2005 Registration Healthcare Professionals You are in: Bacterial and Viral Infections Measles Measles Overview Measles, also known as rubeola, is a viral infection of your respiratory system. Measles and German measles (known as rubella) are different diseases caused by different viruses. Although mainly a disease of children, measles can affect all age groups. Rubella, also known as German measles or three-day measles, is an infection caused by a virus different from rubeola (measles). In children, rubella infection is much like a mild case of rubeola. But in adults and teenagers, it can be more severe. The striking feature of rubella infection is the marked enlargement and tenderness of your lymph nodes, which is more severe than with rubeola. Rubella is well known for causing birth defects if a pregnant woman gets this form of measles. For that reason, pregnant women should avoid anyone who may have rubella or rubeola. If exposed, you may talk with your doctor about being immunized with immune globulin after exposure. The rubella vaccine is given as part of the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella).
