Measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (chicken pox) (MMRV) are more than just childhood illnesses. They are highly infectious diseases that can have severe consequences, particularly for babies and young children. These infections spread very easily between people and can lead to serious problems including meningitis, inflammation of the brain (encephalitis), pneumonia, and hearing loss.
