Once again, CNS has the clearer headline versus AP themselves.

Now they have to check the Morlock detention center.

Thanks, O.

There are far worse diseases and plaints in those centers than measles.

Not Obama’s fault.

Complications of measles may include:

Ear infection. One of the most common complications of measles is a bacterial ear infection.
Bronchitis, laryngitis or croup. Measles may lead to inflammation of the larynx or inflammation of the inner walls that line the main air passageways of the lungs (bronchial tubes).
Pneumonia. This is a common complication of measles. People with compromised immune systems can develop an especially dangerous variety of pneumonia that is sometimes fatal.
Encephalitis. About 1 in 1,000 people with measles develops encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain that may cause vomiting, convulsions, and, rarely, coma or even death. Encephalitis can closely follow measles, or it can occur months later.
Pregnancy problems. If pregnant, measles exposure can result in pregnancy loss, preterm labor or low birth weight.
Low platelet count (thrombocytopenia). Measles may lead to a decrease in platelets — the type of blood cells that are essential for blood clotting.
