Without vaccination, measles morbidity and mortality is very high. Here, we report a case of a 3-year-old child presenting with fever, malaise, productive cough, runny nose, conjunctivitis with Koplik's spot and maculopapular rash. Suspected measles infection is confirmed by positive measles virus IgM antibody and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction in blood and urine. The patients are isolated and treated symptomatically. Management is given to these patients includes educating the patient's parents about the patient's illness and complications of the disease and the provision of medical form of infusion RL 16 ml / hour, Paracetamol 150 mg / hour, Ambroxol 7 mg / 8 hours, and Vitamin A 200.000 IU for 2 days.

Methode : This case study was researched only in the form of a single unit, but was analyzed in depth covering a fairly wide range of aspects. Conclution : In young patients, complete recovery was achieved within two weeks. In patients with fever and maculopapular rash and fatigue, measles should be considered even in all children patients.
