[quote=Anonymous] Children with measles usually aren't hospitalized. About 1 in 5 people with measles are hospitalized. If he wasn't sick enough to be hospitalized, that was because there was nothing to be treated. Unfortunately, the hospital CANNOT explain the details of the case because of HIPAA, although the family is free to say whatever they want. Take anything you read about details in that context. Measles is a virus. The most common reason to need antibiotics would be a secondary bacterial pneumonia, which happens in 1 of 20 cases. The parents would still be able to take him home against medical advice, though, if they chose to. Whether or not he continued to get sicker is a matter of rolling the odds. Of course, we have it on good authority from another DCUM poster that bad things don't happen with measles infection because we now have modern plumbing, so, there's that. :roll:[/quote]
