..."Take Home Points
- There is a resurgence of measles worldwide
- Incubation period is 10 – 14 days
- Patients are contagious 4 days before rash develops and up to 5 days after
- Acute treatment is primarily supportive
- Know the Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) schedules and isolation times of various populations
- Healthcare workers should wear N95 masks while taking care of patients with suspected measles, and report cases to their local health department."
