My daughter is allergic to eggs - which the measles is based on, according to the allergist.

I told the doctor to skip it - he told me he would but virulent strains of measles are being brought into the U.S. from Southeast Asia.

She ended up having a specially formulated measles vaccination administered over about eight hours.

I am curious as to how many of the cases referred to in this article began as strep throat? I was always under the impression that Strep and Scarlet Fever were a related bacterial infection. Could it be that the antibiotics we once used to treat Strep are not working efficiently enough?
