Measles' deadliest sequelae |

Some time ago some experts were speculating that MS might be |
|
caused by a dormant measles infection. If you ever had measles, |
|
it could (but did not necessarily) lie dormant in your system |
|
for many years, then flare up as MS. |
|
I had measles as a child, and my fever was 105' at the time. |
|
Those with measles were routinely kept in a darkened room |
|
because it was believed that measles could cause blindness. My 3 |
|
siblings had had measles together about 10 years earlier, and my |
|
sister developed mastoiditis in connection with her case of |
|
measles. She was quite sick but she did recover. |
|
So measles is no simple disease. And it actually does cause a |
|
serious neurological disorder though the theory that it might |
|
cause MS is no longer being considered. |
|
There is an "anti-vax" movement in the US: people who are |
|
opposed to childhood vaccinations and even to vaccinations in |
|
general. This article stresses the importance of the measles |
|
vaccine. |
