Description

Definition
For young children who ever had measles, MEASLESTRE1 indicates whether the illness was treated by antibiotics. Though measles is a viral infection that antibiotics cannot cure, it can lead to secondary bacterial infections (such as bacterial pneumonia) that would be treated by antibiotics.
