Hi doctor,
One of my colleagues was diagnosed with measles. I had measles in my childhood. But my doubt is whether it can spread to my 2 months old granddaughter through me? Will I transmit the infection?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Once you are infected with measles, there is no chance of reinfection in you.
- Antibodies already present in your body will give you lifelong immunity. There will not be any active infection in you.
- There is no possibility of you infecting others. So, you will not transmit it to the child.
- You can get your child vaccinated against measles. It is usually given in the immunization schedule. If given already then do not worry.
