In Zagreb, two related cases of measles, starting on the face, with possible serious complications.

Two connected cases of measles have been confirmed at the 'Dr. Fran Mihaljević' Infectious Diseases Clinic in Zagreb, linked to travel to Kosovo where there has been an increase in reported cases. One patient has a moderate form of the disease while the other has a milder case. The Croatian Institute of Public Health (HZJZ) is conducting an epidemiological investigation and will provide comprehensive data after completing the analysis. Measles is highly contagious, spreading through respiratory droplets, and approximately 90% of unvaccinated individuals become infected upon contact. Symptoms include fever, coughing, conjunctivitis, and a rash starting on the face. In adults, the illness can be severe requiring hospitalization, with complications such as middle ear infections, diarrhea, and pneumonia being common. Encephalitis, a serious complication affecting the brain, occurs in about one per thousand cases and can lead to permanent neurological damage. Risk factors include young children, adults, pregnant women, and those with weakened immune systems. Vaccination with two doses of the MMR vaccine provides around 97% protection against measles. The clinic emphasizes the importance

Two confirmed cases of measles in Croatia: Here are the symptoms of this highly contagious viral disease

Two cases of measles have been confirmed in Croatia, both linked epidemiologically to an adult who had recently visited Kosovo, where there has been an increase in reported infections. One case is classified as moderate, while the other is mild. The Croatian Institute of Public Health (HZJZ) is conducting an epidemiological investigation into the cases and their contacts, and will release comprehensive data once the process is complete. Measles is highly contagious, spreading through respiratory droplets, and approximately 90% of unimmunized individuals exposed to the disease will become infected. Symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, conjunctivitis, and a rash starting on the face before spreading across the body. In adults, the illness can be severe and require hospitalization, with common complications such as middle ear infection, diarrhea, pneumonia, and rare but serious conditions like encephalitis. The most effective protection against measles is vaccination, with two doses of the MMR vaccine providing around 97% immunity. The clinic emphasizes the importance of checking one’s vaccination status, especially before traveling to areas experiencing outbreaks.
