Question

Fearful of immunizing their 11-month-old daughter, Ivy, due to claims that immunizations cause autism, Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs decided to forego the MMR vaccination for her. Ivy attends a day care center where another child recently returned from a visit with his family in Asia. Mrs. Jacobs has made an appointment for Ivy to see Dr. Peters at the Pediatric Wellness Clinic because Ivy has a high fever, runny nose, and a dusky red rash over the trunk of her body and extremities. Ivy also has what her mother describes as "strange looking spots" in her mouth. Based on ivy's symptoms, you would suspect _________ to be the physician's diagnosis


A. Mumps

B. Varicella

C. Measles

D. Poliomyelitis

Answer 1

The disease that includes symptoms like high fever, runny nose, and a dusky red rash over the trunk of her body and extremities is Measles.

What is MMR vaccine?

MMR stands for Measles, Mumps, and Rubella vaccination.

It is the vaccination given to infants to prevent these three diseases.

As Mrs. Jacob did not give the MMR vaccination to Ivy and as she developed symptoms like high fever, runny nose, and a dusky red rash over the trunk of her body and extremities, it is the possibility of measles.

Thus, the correct option according to the given scenario is C.
