Description
del Moral-Trinidad and colleagues described in 2026 the hospital burden of measles during the large 2025 to 2026 outbreak in Jalisco, Mexico, based on 609 confirmed cases at one referral hospital. Measles has resurged as vaccination coverage slipped, and recent reports focused on surveillance or on children alone. This cohort covered children and adults together.
About a third of confirmed cases were admitted, 186 people in all. Pneumonia was the leading complication among those admitted, and more than half of inpatients needed extra oxygen. Low oxygen levels and fast breathing at arrival marked the patients most likely to be admitted. Most cases were in people never vaccinated or too young to be eligible, yet vaccinated patients also appeared among admissions and were described separately. Front-door breathing measures best flagged who needed a hospital bed.
