Measles
It is caused by a virus called the Measles virus.
Mode of transmission
This can be transmitted airborne by droplet spread or by direct contact with nasal or throat secretions of infected persons, and less commonly, by articles soiled with nasal or throat secretions. Measles is one of the most highly communicable infectious diseases.
The patient can pass the disease to other persons from 4 days before to 4 days after the appearance of the rash.
How serious is Measles?
Measles infection in pregnancy can result in adverse pregnancy outcomes, including pregnancy loss, preterm birth, and low birth weight, but there is no evidence to support an increased risk of congenital defects.
Moreover, neonates who get infected because the mother had measles shortly around the period of delivery are at an increased risk of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (a very rare but fatal disease of the central nervous system) in later life.
Mumps
Mumps is caused by the mumps virus which affects the salivary glands and sometimes the nerve tissue.
Mode of transmission
It is spread by droplet and direct contact with the saliva of an infected person.
How serious is Mumps?
Mumps virus can cause fever, headache, muscle aches, tiredness, loss of appetite, and swollen and tender salivary glands under the ears on one or both sides.
Mumps can lead to deafness, swelling of the brain and/or spinal cord covering (encephalitis or meningitis), painful swelling of the testicles or ovaries, and, very rarely, death.
Rubella (also known as German Measles)
It is caused by rubella virus.
Mode of transmission
It can be transmitted by contact with secretions from nose and throat of infected persons through droplet spread or direct contact with patients.
How serious is Rubella?
Varicella (also known as Chickenpox)
Varicella is a viral illness caused by the varicella-zoster virus.
Mode of transmission
Incubation period
10 – 21 days, usually 14 – 16 days
How serious is Chickenpox?
