Reasons to fear measles : Deafness Seizures Brain swelling Death

Replying to @Ann_907
Despite the media's scare tactics, there's no reason to fear measles.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Measles can cause serious complications like pneumonia, brain swelling (encephalitis), and death in 1-3 per 1,000 cases, especially in unvaccinated people. Vaccination provides strong protection. cdc.gov/measles/about/… mayoclinic.org/diseases-condi… who.int/news-room/fact…

Just a friendly reminder that, in light of the IV fluid shortage, switching to PO antibiotics can be a safe, effective, and patient-centered option! This is because bacteria don't care how the antibiotic gets in. Take, for example, Gram-negative rod bacteremia!

Top choices for switch therapy - depending on organism susceptibility and patient factors - are 1. fluoroquinolones, 2. trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim/Septra), and 3. beta-lactams (amoxicillin, amoxicillin/clavulanate)
