Definition:
(n.) the measles.
(n.) Rubella.
Example Sentences:

(5) In children vaccinated with killed measles vaccine, exposure to natural rubeola within two to four years can result in a clinical syndrome of altered measles reactivity.During a small epidemic of measles in Edmonton, Alberta, 51 children who had received their last killed measles vaccination 27 to 45 months before, were admitted to hospital with this syndrome.The syndrome consists of a prodromal cough and high fever followed by a maculopapular rash appearing on the extremities and progressing centrally.
