BLACK MEASLES Meaning and Definition

1. Black measles, also known as black scarlet fever or malignant scarlet fever, is a severe and potentially life-threatening infectious disease mainly affecting children. It is a rare and serious complication of the common bacterial infection scarlet fever, caused by the Group A Streptococcus bacteria.

   Black measles is characterized by the appearance of dark, purplish-black spots or lesions on the skin, which give the disease its name. These lesions often first appear on the face and neck before spreading to other parts of the body. The spots may be accompanied by high fever, sore throat, swollen glands, and severe fatigue. In some cases, the patient may experience delirium or confusion.

   The development of black measles is a result of an extreme immune response to the streptococcal infection. This response leads to the release of toxic substances that damage blood vessels, resulting in the formation of the characteristic dark lesions. The condition is considered a medical emergency and requires immediate medical attention to prevent further complications, such as organ failure or sepsis.

   Treatment of black measles typically involves hospitalization and administration of antibiotics to treat the underlying streptococcal infection. Supportive care, including hydration and management of symptoms, is also crucial. With prompt and appropriate medical intervention, the prognosis for individuals with black measles can be improved, although complications may still arise. Vaccination against scarlet fever can help prevent the development of black measles by minimizing the initial infection.
