Health officials asking doctors to brush up on measles knowledge amid outbreaks

Lensing, Mick.

The Auckland County Department of Health confirmed the first case of measles in Michigan on Friday this year, reports that an adult who recently traveled has contracted with the disease.

Okland County Health Officer Kate Gozman said that the two most common symptoms of measles are a runny nose and pink eye, with high fever and red, unhealthy irritation appearance. He said the disease is very contagious in the air for two hours and lives in the air.

“And my request to the public, please do not go to the emergency room if you have these symptoms, without calling first,” he said.

The measles has not been identified in Michigan since July 2024, but Dr Natasha Bagdasirin, Chief Medical Executive of Michigan, said the disease has not been in large numbers for decades.

“In fact, only this week, just last week, I have presented the doctors around the state in several quorums, and I have asked doctors to start refreshing their knowledge on the measles,” he told News 10. Because many doctors have not seen measles in their career. “

Most measles cases are causing hospital hospitals, and if a child is infected, it can be fatal, Bagdasirin said. Although Bagdasirin and Gozman have maintained that measles prevention is the most effective way, but vaccination rates have decreased.

“I think if people continue to reject vaccination, there is a possibility of a major recovery in the disease,” he said.

Health officials are urging people to be careful when traveling, especially in places where the spread of measles has been identified, such as Texas, California and New Mexico.

If anyone is convinced that he has signed a measles contract, officials say they should contact their local department before treatment to reduce the possibility of further transmission.
