At least six babies in Pennsylvania have been born infected with measles, with two so sick they had to be admitted to intensive care. The growing outbreak is raising alarm among doctors who are treating the potentially deadly condition. Congenital measles is a disease that’s rarely, if ever, seen in the U.S. NBC News' Erika Edwards reports.
My comments:
Congenital measles is an extremely serious condition and as mentioned in the video, there is no specific treatment at this time.
Given the advances in medical technology since the days when measles was endemic in America, I would speculate that monoclonal antibodies might be a possibility, but there’s serious difficulties with that if it is even possible.
