00:00:03.913 --> 00:00:06.980 
Recently, the National Hospital for
Tropical Diseases received and treated a 

00:00:06.980 --> 00:00:10.325 
42-year-old female patient in Phu Tho
who had never been vaccinated against 

00:00:10.325 --> 00:00:12.833 
measles and contracted the disease after contacting her granddaughter. 

00:00:13.413 --> 00:00:16.548 
Initially, the patient subjectively
treated himself at home when he had a 

00:00:16.548 --> 00:00:19.422 
high fever, causing the disease to
progress severely with symptoms of 

00:00:19.422 --> 00:00:21.773 
cough, frequent vomiting, whole-body
rash and prolonged bowel movements. 

00:00:21.773 --> 00:00:25.394 
Although treated at the lower level, it
did not improve, the patient was 

00:00:25.394 --> 00:00:28.736 
transferred to the National Hospital for
Tropical Diseases in a state of 

00:00:28.736 --> 00:00:30.964 
continuous high fever, shortness of
breath, conjunctivitis, frequent 

00:00:30.964 --> 00:00:32.913 
discharge, causing dehydration and prolonged electrical discharge. 

00:00:33.373 --> 00:00:37.357 
Tests showed that she was positive for
the virus. After being actively treated 

00:00:37.357 --> 00:00:39.502 
with fever reducers, fluid
replenishment, antibiotics and 

00:00:39.502 --> 00:00:42.873 
nutritional support, the patient's
health improved significantly after a few days. 

00:00:42.873 --> 00:00:46.583 
According to doctors, this is a typical
case of scoliosis in adults. People 

00:00:46.583 --> 00:00:50.007 
should not be subjective about scoliosis
in adults and need to pay 

00:00:50.007 --> 00:00:51.433 
special attention to preventive measures. 

00:00:51.723 --> 00:00:56.050 
Adults who do not know if they have ever
had measles or do not clearly remember 

00:00:56.050 --> 00:00:58.483 
their vaccination history should
proactively get vaccinated against measles. 

00:00:58.983 --> 00:01:03.025 
In particular, women need to complete
vaccination at least 3 months before 

00:01:03.025 --> 00:01:05.383 
pregnancy to protect both mother and child. 

00:01:05.903 --> 00:01:09.121 
Because measles vaccine is a live
vaccine that reduces motivation, it 

00:01:09.121 --> 00:01:10.583 
is contraindicated for pregnant women. 

00:01:10.923 --> 00:01:14.311 
When contacting people with measles,
especially young children, it is 

00:01:14.311 --> 00:01:16.683 
necessary to isolate and closely monitor health. 

00:01:16.683 --> 00:01:21.623 
In case of symptoms such as high fever,
cough, conjunctivitis, rash, people need 

00:01:21.623 --> 00:01:25.803 
to go to specialized medical facilities
for diagnosis and timely treatment. 

00:01:26.383 --> 00:01:30.200 
In addition, patients can receive
supportive care at home in the right way 

00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:32.842 
such as drinking enough water,
supplementing electrolyte solutions to 

00:01:32.842 --> 00:01:34.603 
prevent dehydration or fever or diarrhea. 

00:01:35.203 --> 00:01:38.222 
When fever is reduced, follow the
instructions of medical staff, keep your 

00:01:38.222 --> 00:01:41.743 
eyes, nose, and throat clean and
absolutely do not use antibiotics on your own. 

00:01:42.250 --> 00:01:46.349 
Doctors also recommend that when you see
severe signs such as continuous high 

00:01:46.349 --> 00:01:49.502 
blood pressure, shortness of breath,
frequent cough, chest pain, frequent 

00:01:49.502 --> 00:01:51.710 
vomiting, diarrhea causing dehydration or fatigue, drowsiness, 

00:01:52.030 --> 00:01:55.790 
Patients should go to a medical facility
for examination to avoid the risk of serious complications.
