Measles is a highly contagious viral illness that affects your respiratory system. The symptoms of measles can include fever, runny nose, sore throat and full body rash.[1] Measles is usually not dangerous for healthy people, but the virus can still kill: more than 100,000 people die of the virus each year. It often affects young children, especially in a school setting, where it can spread easily.
