Guest guest Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 So in a case like this one, if the doctor called it in does it counts as a measles case to the CDC or Health Departments even if it was the wrong diagnosis. Right? > > You know, a thought occurred to me this morning. The first doc declared this was measles and sent them on their way--not much concern at all for what is supposed to be such a " deadly " disease requiring repeated mass vaccination of all children in the world. > > Plus, at least in CT, measles is a Category 1 disease (highest rating) and is to be reported immediately by phone if merely suspected, not even confirmed. Yet, he sent them off untreated. But for all we know he did report it, so you might want to make your daughter aware in case someone comes knocking on her door. It would be good to have something in hand with another diagnosis. > > Anyway, the body can react in the same way to a real disease and to a perceived one (allergy) the same way. So, swollen glands don't necessarily point to an illness--although I'd think a fever would. But hers was low and just for a day--could have been the heat? > > Winnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
