Modified measles with an atypical presentation

Commun Dis Intell (2018). 2019 Jun 17:43. doi: 10.33321/cdi.2019.43.26.

Abstract

We report symptomatic confirmed modified measles infection in a person with one documented MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccination and travel to Indonesia. No secondary cases were identified, consistent with other case reports of modified measles infection. The infectivity of modified measles for contact tracing requirements requires further elucidation.

Keywords: modified measles; atypical measles; infectivity; measles; contact tracing; MMR; communicable disease.
