Avatar f tn in hamsters, ribavirin was associated with defects of the limbs, eyes, and brain; in rats, defects of the brain and eyes predominated -- but these were experiments exposing bone marrow cells. Because of its frequent association with adverse effects on pregnancy in animal experiments, the marketing approval of ribavirin specified that it be avoided in women or girls who are pregnant or may become pregnant within four weeks after exposure to the drug.

Avatar m tn I was born in 1974. My mother told me that I was given complete immunizations when I was a child, but she cannot remember what specific immunizations I got. My mother also cannot find my immunization records at present. From what I remembered, I may have experienced measles and mumps when I was a child. I’m not sure if I’ve experience rubella. Now, the hospital that I’ll be working requires all employees to get MMR vaccination.

Avatar f tn I have a rash on both my upper arms which looks like German measles type rash and I have swollen glands in my neck what could this be?
Avatar f tn The virus replicates in the upper respiratory tract and then transfers to all of the body, crosses the placenta and damages embryo/fetus. The consequences can be: cataracts for baby, deaf, heart defects, mental retardation and death during first year.
Avatar n tn I had measles a couple of months ago. That's gone. What happened afterwords is my groin area started showing red patches, very dry skin, then red spots on my buttocks (a few). I've had this rash for more than two months. Doesn't seem to be spreading but will not go away. I use diaper rash medicine which seem to help the redness, Also, just after the measles, my groin testical skin area chapped up bad. A crust layer grew over this area then after so many days of showering fell off.
Avatar f tn Anyone against them needs to walk through an old graveyard and see all the headstones of entire families of children taken out by measles, polio, whooping cough and chicken pox. In 1912 4 million people in the u.s. died from chicken pox! 4,million and 500,000 from the measles.
Avatar m tn I have thought that antibodies are produced by your body in reaction to a viral infection i.e. Hep c virus or measles virus. I guess should read up on how antibodies specifically function.
Avatar f tn In southern California there has been a measles outbreak and more and more cases are popping up. I'm so nervous for my new baby since she won't be able to have the vaccination until she is 1 so she will be at a huge risk. I'm due May 2nd so I'm hoping it will somehow go away but it doesn't look likely. The most frustrating part is that because of irresponsible people not vaccinating a disease that was pretty much gone is now popping up everywhere.
Avatar m tn Rubella is not chicken pox or measles. But it can cause birth defects. Maybe ask to get retested. Did you recieve the mmr vaccine as a child? (measles, mumps, and rubella) will look it up and see if I can help you with info.
Avatar m tn after etching it becomes red and kinda looks like Measles..but i dont feel any fever or any other symptoms of measles.. problem is only in my legs..when etching starts feels like i will rip off my skin..what to do?
250701 tn?1320974765 I had the rash like that across my chest and it was miserable and I do have a few scars. Mine looked like chicken pox, shingles and measles all in one and they did pop and ooze, I am surprised I didn't get a huge infection as I was constantly scraching it. I used calamine lotion on it and that helped alot.
Avatar f tn I am really worried about the measles outbreak. I am due on 3/9 and i HAVE to go back to work after my son reaches 6 weeks. I havent heard anything about Oklahoma having a case yet. YET. but its spreading and there is always a risk that it will eventually get here. i am a single mom now, so daycare is my only option of being able to provide for my children. So the risk is so much greater.
Avatar n tn This could be measles. Has she been in contact with anyone that has had Measles, German Measles or Chicken Pox over the last couple of weeks? Keep her warm and give her plenty of drinks and children's pain reliever as directed on the packet if she is fretting or has a raised temperature. Chicken pox tend to have blister looking type spots after the initial red spots. Try and make sure that she does not scratch.
