Abstract
Measles is one of the highly contagious, serious disease caused by
#rubeola virus. Before the vaccine for measles it has caused almost 2.3
million deaths each year, mostly children under age of 5 years. Measles
is a human disease and there is no evidence that it ever occurred in
animals [1]. Measles virus is spread mostly by droplet route like
coughing, #sneezing, close personal contact with the infected individual.
Virus has the capability to remain active for at least 2 hours in the
air or on infected surfaces. Infected individual can lead to some
serious complications: #pneumonia, seizures, #laryngotracheobronchitis,
otitis media [2]. It is essential that proper diagnosis and vaccination
is important to prevent the onset of disease and to avoid any
complications. Therefore, a live attenuated vaccine is available to
prevent the onset of disease [3].#Measles is still serious health problem in developing countries, and an
estimated death are 74% in 2000 to 2010. The WHO Global action plan for
2020 has a target to eliminate measles in at least five regions by 2020.
Elimination is defined as "the absence of #endemic measles transmission
in a defined geographical area" [4]. However, in the pre-vaccine era,
the season for outbreak is usually late winter and early spring while in
tropical climatic condition outbreaks occurred in the dry season [5].
