As you may be aware, measles has been in the news a lot lately, with an increase in cases globally as well as within the United States, linked to decreased vaccination rates. Measles starts with fever, runny nose, cough, red eyes, and sore throat. It’s followed by a rash that spreads over the body. Measles can be serious, especially to young children and adults; about 1 in 4 people need to be hospitalized and 1-2 per 1000 may die from complications such as pneumonia and encephalitis (brain infection).

TB is treatable, but a person with TB can die if they develop active disease and do not get treatment.
