In some cases, measles may cause severe illnesses including pneumonia or encephalitis. While encephalitis is rare, this swelling of the brain requires hospitalization and intensive treatment. It can cause seizures, hallucinations, permanent brain damage, blindness, hearing loss, and memory loss.

Those at increased risk of serious illness are:

  • Pregnant women who catch measles are at risk of premature birth or have a low-birth-weight baby.
  • People with compromised immune systems, such as from leukemia and HIV infection, may be especially at risk for measles complications.
  • Children and adults that have underlying health conditions
  • Infants under 12 months
