The report notes that of the positively confirmed measles cases in this report, 62
patients were unvaccinated, including 50 who were 12 months or older in age. Why do
the authors point out the age of these children? - ANS✔✔--They are informing us that
these children were old enough to have received at least one dose of the MMR vaccine.
Why was it important for investigators to genotype the measles virus (type B3 or type A)
in children suspected of having the disease who had also received MMR? - ANS✔✔--
Genotype A virus is used in the MMR vaccine, while B3 is wild-type virus.
(T/F) There is no link between the MMR vaccine and autism. - ANS✔✔--True.
What type of immunization did immunocompromised or pregnant people in this case
receive? - ANS✔✔--Artificial passive
What proportion of the confirmed measles cases were in children old enough to have
received at least one dose of the MMR vaccine? - ANS✔✔--77%
(T/F) None of the people with measles in this case died, proving that measles is a mild,
insignificant childhood disease. - ANS✔✔--False.
How many children in the U.S. had to be hospitalized in the first part of 2020 after
getting the measles? - ANS✔✔--128
What was the percentage of people in the study by the first research group that had
experienced measles? - ANS✔✔--40%
How did the children in this study get measles? - ANS✔✔--They were unvaccinated
and caught it during a measles outbreak. (???)
The researchers suggest two ways in which measles virus impacts the immune system.
What are they? - ANS✔✔--- Measles virus reduces the amount of preexisting
antibodies, causing immune amnesia.
- Measles virus infects B cells, preventing their maturation and killing some of them.
Which of the following is not an accurate statement about this research? - ANS✔✔--
The MMR vaccine is dangerous because it reduces the number of a person's
preexisting antibodies and also depletes their memory cells. (???)
