Abstract

We herein report five female cases of measles (a 2-month-old infant, her 29-year-old mother and 3 adults) who visited our hospital within one month. Koplik’s spots were present in four cases, including the infant. All adult patients showed severe general symptoms of high fever (more than 38°C), general fatigue, cough, diarrhea, and so on. Four cases, including the infant, had elevated aminotransferase. All the adult patients had hypoxemia without breathing difficulty, although their chest roentgenograms revealed minimal abnormal shadows. The rate of vaccination against measles, is still about 70-80% and an outbreak of measles patients occurs every several years. Moreover, the number of adult and infant patients is also increasing. Japan where more than 100,000 cases of measles are seen every year, remains a developing country with respect to measles prevention.
