Measles resources

As measles activity increases both nationally and across the state, it’s important that we remain vigilant in recognizing potential cases early and following the appropriate clinical and operational pathways.

 

Below are three key resources to support your practice. The first is the latest clinical guidance from the state, including visual references and the state’s current testing thresholds. The second is ECU Health’s consolidated resource for measles management—covering both Medical Center and community hospital processes—designed to streamline our approach across all facilities. Lastly is a CDC fact sheet for patient distribution as needed.
