“120 to 250 nm diameter measles virus (MV) plenty in number settles on the nasal mucosa of a human child through droplets sprayed by an infected person’s sneeze. Measles virus with the only host available on earth(possibly) the humans perhaps has a good mechanism to thrive well on the upper respiratory tract(URT) mucosa. In a very good condition for the invaders perhaps in an already immunocompromised condition of URT measles virus must be multiplying in mighty rate. In the so called incubation period the spread over the whole URT must be almost complete and further infiltration into the deeper mucosal layer may be marked by 2–3 day prodrome of fever, runny nose, cough, and conjunctivitis on the 10th to 14th day of invasion followed by the characteristic maculopapular rash on skin. With in few days the rash subside marking the end of infection“

In this raw nature, all living beings live together in an unnoticed but appreciable association which may or may not help them keep themselves alive depending on the character and positioning of a species in the food chain. In this nature there is pray and predators. Each of them strive hard to keep themselves alive. The stronger and conditionally skilled ones always gets upper hand. In such circumstances Homo sapiens loosing to 120 to 250 nm diameter measles virus is rationally unacceptable but reality as we all know is evidently contrary. But why..

Human being is like one side of Chess pieces. Pawns the epithelium and skin, bishop enzymes, horse WBC, rook antibody, queen the lymph glands and nodes and King the Life. Player can sacrifice pawns bishop and horse to save the king. Likewise in the whole system of human being each set of cells are entrusted and specialized for a specific duty for centuries and across generations. Unlike chess in humans all cells are not specialized to engage in combat with invaders. On other side the Measles virus is an individual, and like a whole human being probably has their own updated versions of life skills. It has quality of 16 chess pieces in one cell (virus can’t be called a cell). Hence it may be fatal to all type of cells in human body individually (Each cell of a human being has their own specific duty and for generations together they have modified themselves according to new situations but the body can sacrifice these cells or can loos so many { different kinds of} cells as they know nothing other than their entrusted duties).it has got specialized cells to act for protecting invasions.

Probably due to above reasons measles virus manage to multiply and spread across the URT mucosa. These MVs surpass the URT epithelium to enter deeper cells probably the trachea and lung tissue. You may go through various sites to understand further development : 1 , 2 ,

Hear, one thing we need to understand is that in nature if two species, say a snake and a frog meet the snake swallows the frog. The frog has nothing much to do than to surrender. And if a group of ants attack a snake ( just an example) the snake will resist the attack. The visuals here demonstrates without a matter of suspicion an act of physical combat between two species. Like wise when humans are attacked by measles virus, objective signs are absent. But we know it has got its own mechanisms of cellular, microcellular and biochemical war fares. When the nasal mucosa identify the intruder, it reacts. Initially perhaps literally just as a physical barrier, as an informer the next and probably as a fighter at the final stage when it produce thin and later on thick mucous basically filled with macrophages and other chemicals at molecular level. Now we do realize that this mucous production called as rhinorrhea or just runny nose is not a direct effect of viral attack but a sign or symbol or physical demonstration of culmination of a chain reaction which was initiated by i) appreciation of presence of foreigner body ii) passing information of danger to primary immunity management section( chemical or molecular level) iii) production of mucous in response; both chemical and cellular level indulgence.

From the initial sign that marks the commencement of counter reaction of our body towards the invaders the ‘runny nose’, there occur a chain reaction in a sequence which we call the symptoms of measles, and this remains the same across all humans through centuries. Infact the whole saga, the disease measles, which we identify with the above mentioned symptoms, appearing one after another are one or the other signs of counter reaction of our body against the virus at various levels and please may not be called a disease. YES… I admit that all these symptoms of diseases(word means that the body is in a state of dis-ease that means the body is not at ease) is excruciating and also admit that these symptoms look fatal but ultimately is an expression of the status of our immunity. The immature and misguided intellect of human perceptions has made a great mistake in differentiating virtues and foes. At this point, if you have reached in pace with my realization( and those who already know this fact undisputedly ) what do you think we need to be doing as a patient, bystander or a health worker. Well I would suggest to be with the patient’s immune system as its been in this business over centuries, at the least, before human intellect started addressing these as mishaps where his body is helping himself push his life through in most effective way naturally practical way.

Here each symptom demonstrates the latest status of the combat mode against measles virus and thus mastering this knowledge of blue print of nature must give us the idea that would empower us to evaluate and forecast the course and fate of the encounter.(deliberately avoiding the term “disease” so as to keep you in pace with my realization of this virtue ).

Conclusion: As I have mentioned, the symptoms of measles , each and single one of them is our body’s immune response towards measles virus( You may browse to make it clearer) and hence it is very much necessary for us that this reaction proceeds through and run a natural course. Any interruption or interference in its natural course may be devastating.

Greatest irony is that the scientists think that the measles virus is in a mission. A virus with a small lifespan probably has an only mission of a hunger free life (probably of every living thing on earth). Every single cells with viral presence is called as the Target cell. Even when macrophages, the sophisticated policemen of immune system of mighty Homo sapiens engulf these measles virus they say the virus has highjacked macrophages. Please change the perspective and this might help us define health better. Why are we playing this victim card any more.
