Atypical measles syndrome

Introduction to atypical measles syndrome Atypical measles syndrome (atypicalmeaslessyndrome) refers to the atypical morbidity caused by the decrease of antibody levels in the blood after 2 to 6 years of vaccination against measles vaccine, and the clinical manifestations of measles. It is distributed in winter and spring and is not contagious. basic knowledge The proportion of sickness: 0.004% - 0.006% Susceptible people: more common in teenagers Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: pneumonia, pleural effusion, myocarditis

Atypical measles syndrome etiology

(1) Causes of the disease

The measles vaccine is inoculated due to the combination of measles virus antigen and circulating antibodies to form an immune complex.

(two) pathogenesis

The measles vaccine is used to obtain long-lasting immunity. When the measles virus is reinfected, the sensitized lymphocytes cause delayed allergic reaction to the components of the viral antigen and the host cells, which causes the disease. Some people think that the disease is caused by the measles virus. The antigen is combined with the circulating antibody to form an immune complex.

Examination of atypical measles syndrome

The total number of white blood cells decreased, lymphocytes or eosinophils increased, serum transaminase, acid dehydrogenase increased, serum measles antibody titers increased, and measles virus culture was negative.

Diagnosis and diagnosis of atypical measles syndrome

According to the vaccination of measles vaccine 2 to 3 days, the above clinical manifestations are not difficult to diagnose.
