Pulmonary Complications in Measles 2016-2018

Abstract

Measles is a viral disease that we have chosen to talk about because of the progressively increasing number of cases, the respiratory complications that progress toward respiratory failure in children and because of the costs that could be lowerd if vaccinations were carried out according to the proposed Schedule by the Ministry of Health. Our research was conducted during 05.2016-31.12.2018 analyzed according to several criteria (age group, sex, personal history, complications, evolution, treatment, etc.). There are 3 particular clinical cases. From the pathophysiological point of view, we consider the focus on respiratory complications to be useful, most complications being alveolar pneumonia in children under 2 years of age, reaching to acute respiratory failure. Can we prevent this? Keywords: Measles, vaccination, respiratory complications, children
