What’s the death rate in adults who get it?

And how would the availability of anti-virals- anti-inflammatories, and anti-biotics that I didn’t have in the 60’s when I got it affect both survival and other un fortunate endings like blindness; deafness, brain damage, etc?

Ribavirin is the only antiviral with activity against measles. I treated one adult with measles pneumonia with it, but they died anyway.
