Measles, sometimes known as rubeola, is a well-known, highly contagious virus.
Although its telltale symptoms are body-covering red spots often accompanied by
a mild fever, it is in fact a respiratory disease that can lead to
life-threatening conditions such as pneumonia and encephalitis.
The good news is that in 1963 scientists synthesized a vaccine from a live
rubeola virus, and nearly all children in the developed world are now
inoculated against measles.
