A 38-year-old female with a two-week history of amoxicillin use for fever, cough, and coryza presented with two days of erythematous chest macules. Despite discontinuation of the antibiotic, her rash continued; measles was diagnosed with IgM titers. Three weeks previously she had returned from China. She had received only one vaccination despite travel to this measles-endemic area. Vaccination and herd immunity have reduced the measles prevalence in America by more than 99%; travel, foreign adoption, and refusal of vaccination have, however, increased the risk.
一名38岁女性,因发热、咳嗽和鼻塞服用阿莫西林两周,之后出现两天的胸部红斑疹。尽管停用了抗生素,她的皮疹仍持续存在;通过检测IgM滴度确诊为麻疹。三周前她从中国返回。尽管前往了这个麻疹流行地区,但她只接种过一次疫苗。疫苗接种和群体免疫已使美国的麻疹患病率降低了99%以上;然而,旅行、跨国收养和拒绝接种疫苗增加了患病风险。
