According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the CDC, measles cases increased by 20% globally in 2023. Over 10.3 million infections and more than 306,000 confirmed cases were reported across 144 countries.

About Measels
Measles is a highly contagious RNA virus. It typically presents with cough, fever, red eyes, and a red rash that begins on the face.
Complications may include:
- Pneumonia
- Encephalitis
- and even death, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems.
The Importance of Diagnosis
Because early symptoms of measles can resemble those of other infections, laboratory confirmation is essential.
Real-Time PCR enables detection of measles RNA with:
- High sensitivity and specificity
- Rapid turnaround
- Detection of low viral loads, even in early stages
This makes it the gold standard for identifying imported cases and managing outbreaks.
