A Licensed Texas Physician with significant experience successfully treating measles during the current outbreak is reporting a second tragic death of a chronically ill child who had been previously infected with measles in a Texas hospital. Similar to the recent unfortunate death widely but incorrectly reported as primarily caused by measles rather than complicated by measles, this is again a case of a child suffering from pre-existing conditions who was misdiagnosed, and it appears that she may have been improperly medically managed.
In this second case, a young girl who had previously been infected but recovered from a measles infection developed a blood infection (sepsis) after suffering from chronic tonsillitis complicated by chronic mononucleosis. Infectious mononucleosis (IM, mono), also known as glandular fever, is an infection usually caused by the Epstein–Barr virus (EBV). There is no vaccine for EBV, and in most cases children that develop this common infection recover with supportive care. In this case, although she had developed and recovered from measles, the girl had been ill for months with chronic mononucleosis complicated by chronic tonsillitis, and her parents had been arranging for her to have her tonsils removed, a procedure known as a tonsillectomy.

This is heartbreaking to read 😭
Please stop saying this, both myself and President Trump were treated with Remdesivir when hospitalized with COVID-19, and we both made rapid recoveries without any ill effects.
Comorbidities
We were in a dark room, too. IIRC, maybe there could be possible eye damage if there was too much light with measles. Or maybe an old wives tale.
The measles had zero to do with her death.
Read the dang article!
Measles wipes immune system memory making victims susceptible to secondary infections which then kill them because their immune system is incompetent.
People need to stop pretending that it’s just a simple childhood disease and not dangerous.
The father knew it was Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and requested the standard-of-care for that - budeniside by nebulizer - but the Dr’s refused and treated it as if it was covid. Killed her.
I hope they sue. This has got to stop.what do we have standards of care for, anyway?
I hurt for this family. You never really get over the loss of a child.
bttt
Trump didn’t have remdesivir.
I’m glad you survived it.
just because it helped some does not mean it helps all who take it. everyone is different, uniquely made by God. Science and medical communities keep wanting to think they can treat all the same and brain washed people to think the same.
“standard of care” kills many
If you are saying it was over prescribed, I absolutely agree.
Thanks, me too !
Turns out Trump did have a course of Remdesivir. But he started out with Regeneron.
We were told it was a mild case but I think God may have spared Trump’s life from more than one assassination attempt. They gave him Remdesivir which is for hospitalized patients, and they gave him a steroid that is to suppress immune response for severe cases.
I wonder what exactly happened.
Poor girl. Prayers for her family.
The medical community is continuing to destroy any residual trust the people had in it.
I think that is one of the biggest problems - people don't see it as being as dangerous as it is. 1-3/1,000 is terrible odds to not be concerned. That is the death rate from measles complications today.
I remember having the measles at 6 years of age - yes, the dark room, no television watching, high fever, mandatory 2 weeks quarantine from school. I was thrilled that with a simple vaccine my children would not have to be subjected to that disease (mumps too).
Note to self; stay away from TX hospitals
