MEASLES - Measles is a vaccine-preventable disease. The best way to protect against it is through the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine.
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.
