Although immunization practices have dramatically reduced the incidence of measles, several populations remain at risk of the disease. Modified measles may occur in those who received immune globulin in childhood. Atypical measles, often confused with Rocky Mountain spotted fever, may develop in those who received inactivated measles virus vaccine and were subsequently exposed to the natural disease. The diagnosis of measles requires a high index of suspicion and a careful immunization history.
