Pneumonia occurs in up to 6 percent of reported measles cases and accounts for 60 percent of deaths from measles. Encephalitis can also occur. Other complications include middle ear infections and convulsions .
Rubeloa can be prevented by immunization. About 95 percent of vaccinated people are protected with one dose, and practically everyone is protected with two doses.
Persons who have not been immunized against measles are the main risk group. Infants are generally protected from measles for 6 to 8 months after birth, due to immunity that was passed on from their mom
Rubeola is not fatal. In that case it would be rated a 1
An estimated 43 million cases occur yearly, with more than 1 million deaths. In the United States, about 350 cases are reported each year
