Measles is an acute infectious viral disease. The virus enters the body through the nose, throat or conjunctiva, and is transmitted mainly by drip (sneezing, cough) and by air (in the form of an aerosol) and through contact with the surface contaminated with the patient's secretions. The most effective way to protect against getting sick is vaccination, which further reduces the risk of dangerous complications.
