Measles in Mexico

Measles is a highly contagious viral disease caused by a paramyxovirus. It is transmitted through the air by respiratory droplets and presents with high fever, cough, runny nose, conjunctivitis, and a characteristic skin rash that spreads from the head to the rest of the body. Although Mexico achieved the elimination of endemic measles, imported cases have been recorded that require constant epidemiological surveillance and sustained vaccination coverage.
