Measles and Miscarriages: About 2 Cases at the Hassan II University Hospital of Fez

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Measles is the most contagious vaccine-preventable viral disease. It spreads endemically and epidemically, with a peak incidence in spring. Transmission occurs mainly by air, through inhalation of infected respiratory secretions. Rubella during pregnancy, particularly during the first trimester, can cause miscarriage, fetal death, stillbirth, or congenital malformations, called congenital rubella syndrome (CRS). Measles during pregnancy exposes the patient to the risk of maternal pulmonary complications, early miscarriage, and threatened preterm delivery. The aim of our study is to analyze maternal complications, particularly respiratory and cardiac involvement, as well as fetal complications.
