Abstract
Answer A. Measles
With the introduction of the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine, cases of these diseases have dropped. However, a reduction in vaccination rates has meant that these conditions are more prevalent again. Measles typically presents with a prodromal phase of generalised symptoms, including conjunctivitis, cough, fever and malaise. A rash develops afterwards and Koplik’s spots on the buccal mucosa are indicative of measles. It is usually a self-limiting disease and a notifiable one.
