Measles are extremely contagious. The virus spreads through respiration, or contact with fluids from an infected person’s nose and mouth, such as while speaking, coughing or sneezing. The contact does not have to be direct, as the virus can remain active for hours.
Measles infections are particularly dangerous for infants under one year of age. “One in 5,000 infants develops subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. This degenerative encephalitis, if not treated in its intial stage, is always fatal. Parents whose children receive such a diagnosis can only watch them die,” said Mankertz.
