Measles or rubeola is caused by an enveloped single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the genus Morbillivirus in the Paramyxoviridae family. Here, we present five adult measles patients. The laboratory confirmation of measles by serology/polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was carried out in the National Measles Laboratory as per WHO standard operating procedure at the Department of Virology, Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, India. All of the patients presented with prodromal fever with rash. Diffuse erythematous maculopapular rash in a centrifugal manner was present. Measles was diagnosed based on clinical examination findings and positive serology or PCR reports from throat swab specimens. Two patients had a history of exposure; other patients denied any exposure. All of the patients were admitted and managed conservatively in the isolation ward during the period of infectivity.
麻疹，又称风疹，是由一种包膜单链RNA病毒引起的，该病毒属于副粘病毒科麻疹病毒属。在此，我们介绍五名成年麻疹患者。按照世界卫生组织的标准操作程序，在印度昌迪加尔医学教育与研究研究生院病毒学系的国家麻疹实验室，通过血清学/聚合酶链反应（PCR）对麻疹进行了实验室确诊。所有患者均出现前驱发热伴皮疹。皮疹呈离心性分布的弥漫性红斑丘疹。根据临床检查结果以及咽喉拭子标本血清学阳性或PCR报告确诊为麻疹。两名患者有接触史；其他患者否认有任何接触史。所有患者在传染期均被收治并在隔离病房接受保守治疗。
