MEASLES..

 Sandra Dawkins is four years old. Her GP phones a hospital to prepare for an
admission and her parents accompany her in an ambulance. Her parent should bring
her to hospital immediately.
 Sandra has been weepy for the past two days and sometimes crying inconsolably.
Nothing has been making her comfortable to stop her from crying.
 She has been running a temperature of around 104OF (40Oc). She has a nasty-looking
rash on her forehead and behind the ears. She has a lot of mucus in her nose and
throat and has difficulty breathing and sometimes has a dry cough.
 She has been developing those symptoms for two days. Her parents report no
diarrhea though she vomited once an hour before seeing the doctor.
 A diagnosis is required and in the meantime the doctor recommends that she should
be given as much as fluid as possible to drink in order to avoid dehydration as a result
of her fever (though no drinks containing caffeine).
 Also that she should be dresses lightly, with light bedclothes and that she be given
a lukewarm sponge bath.
 On the day she is in hospital, her parents found that she has been developing tiny
white spots, like grains of salt, appear inside the mouth. Her parents report this to
the nurses in charge. The nurse, then, tell the pediatrician.
 On the fourth and fifth days, her temperature rises again and the characteristic
measles skin rash appears. The diagnosis suggests that she has been suffering
from measles. The spots have been spreading to the rest of the head and the body
for the time she is in hospital. She has been complaining about headaches.
The doctor tells her parent that this is a contagious disease. But most children
who contract measles, the disease within 10 days and the only after-effect is
lifelong immunity to another attack. The medical workers at the hospital have
been giving the best treatment to cure her. It is noted that she has been
regaining her stable condition.
