There is only one thing that can protect her.
During the rampage of coronavirus and SARS, many people forget about other diseases that threaten the health of Russians to no lesser extent. One of these is measles. Cardiologist Alexander Myasnikov explained why this disease is considered extremely dangerous and what consequences it can lead to.
The specialist noted that it is possible to catch measles even without direct contact with the patient. It is enough to visit the place where the carrier was located. The virus persists in the air and on surfaces for up to two hours.
In addition, in about a third of people, the disease causes serious complications – from pneumonia to panencephalitis. The latter can manifest itself only after eight years and even lead to death.
