Editor's Choice
Section 3, Measles

UPDATE: Measles outbreaks have been reported in New York, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Michigan.

Red Book Excerpt: "Every suspected measles case should be reported immediately to the local health department, and every effort must be made to verify that the illness is measles, especially if the illness may be the first case in the community. Subsequent prevention of the spread of measles depends on prompt immunization of people at risk of exposure or people already exposed who cannot readily provide documentation of measles immunity, including the date of immunization. People who have not been immunized within 72 hours of exposure or who have been exempted from measles immunization for medical, religious, or other reasons should be excluded from school, child care, and health care settings until at least 2 weeks after the onset of rash in the last case of measles...."

Sharpen your diagnostic skills with this new collection of 50 high-interest case studies based on real-life cases and written by the Chair of the AAP Committee on Infectious Diseases.
Each case includes:
  • A detailed description of patient presentation
  • Evaluation and management questions to gauge your “upfront” knowledge
  • Step-by-step diagnostic procedures and considerations – including differential diagnosis
  • Proven treatment and management recommendations for the diagnosed condition
Illustrated with more than 130 full-color photos and radiographs, the reports target diverse signs and symptoms occurring in children from birth through adolescence. The case-based format makes this a superb learning and training tool for residents and other clinicians.
