Episode 97: Measles Resurgence: The comeback no one needed
Description
I love a good comeback story, and typically cheer for the underdog, but the Measles can go ahead and stay in the past. As cases continue to rise, it’s time to take a look at overall pathophysiology and transmission of this very contagious virus.
Join me as we discuss yet another virus taking the U.S. by storm.
At the time of this recording the data available was as of 2/28/25 with 164 cases of measles, 1 death and 20% hospitalization. 1 week later, as of 3/7/25 cases have increased to 222 cases (94% unvaccinated), 2 deaths, and a 17% hospitalization rate.
In this episode:
- Pathogenesis of measles
- Transmission of measles
- Signs and symptoms of measles
- Benefits of MMR vaccine
- Incidence and history of the measles in the U.S.
