Question

What is Measles? How does it affect the body?

Answer 1

Answer:   ( QUESTION A:) Measles is a childhood infection caused by a virus. Once quite common, measles can now almost always be prevented with a vaccine.

Also called rubeola, measles can be serious and even fatal for small children. While death rates have been falling worldwide as more children receive the measles vaccine, the disease still kills more than 100,000 people a year, most under the age of 5.

(QUESTION B:) Measles attacks your body, it goes to war against your white blood cells. Specifically, it binds to your B- and T-cells, then wipes them out. Earlier symptoms come with  a high fever, a cough, a runny nose, and itchy, watery eyes. One of the most recognizable effects of measles on the body is the characteristic rash.
