Measles Facts: Symptoms, Diagnosis, Prevention & Public Health Impact #173569 (License: Personal Use)

Measles is a highly infectious viral illness characterized by fever, dry cough, sore throat, inflamed eyes, and a distinctive red rash. Diagnosis relies on the classic "3 C's": cough, coryza (runny nose), and conjunctivitis; while prevention centers on the MMR vaccine. Globally, measles causes approximately 10 million cases and 200,000 deaths annually, with no cure-only supportive care like fluid management.
