Abstract
Measles is one of the most highly contagious infections. The measles virus spreads effectively not only when an infected person coughs or sneezes, but even when breathing or talking. Infection can cause serious illness, complications, and even death. Most often, complications develop in unvaccinated children under 5 years of age and in adults over 20 years of age. However, an important fact is that measles can also cause “delayed mortality”, especially in children under 2 years of age, immune system amnesia, Crohn’s disease, Paget’s disease, lupus erythematosus and subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. Timely diagnosis and initiation of treatment can reduce mortality. The article presents a clinical case of a patient with HIV infection stage 4B who was in St. Petersburg State Medical Institution “Clinical Infectious Diseases Hospital named after S.P. Botkin” with a diagnosis of measles erased form.
