The measles virus evades a person's immune system and causes it to attack proteins in the brain of some people with measles disease, causing brain inflammation. This leads to brain swelling that can subsequently lead to seizures, intellectual disability or even death. In some, the virus lies dormant in the brain for years and can cause a rare but fatal complication known as subacute-sclerosing panencephalitis. This condition develops years after a person has recovered from initial measles disease. The only effective way to prevent brain swelling from measles is to prevent the disease entirely. Ask your healthcare provider about the MMR vaccine. For immunization appointments at , call 701.241.1383.
