Prognosis
Most individuals recover from measles without sequelae and death is rare in high-income countries. Vulnerability to infection may last months to years after measles illness.[43][44] In low- and low-middle income countries, however, mortality rates vary from 2% to 15%. Malnourished, vitamin A-deficient, and immunocompromised children are most susceptible to morbidity, mortality, and complications such as pneumonia.
