Measles Resources
Nationwide Children’s Hospital is always here as a partner in caring for children in Columbus and beyond and keeping them safe and healthy. With recently confirmed cases of Measles throughout the nation, and within Ohio, we have updated our provider resources for practitioners to utilize as needed.
Measles testing should be considered in patients presenting with compatible signs/symptoms (i.e., fever, cough, coryza, conjunctivitis, and disseminated rash), especially those with an epidemiological risk factor (i.e., known or suspected measles exposure, international travel or travel to an area with ongoing measles outbreak, and/or unvaccinated against measles).
Community Provider Resources from Nationwide Children’s:
- Measles Testing Referral Process
- Measles Toolkit
- Measles FAQ for Clinicians
- Measles Exposure Letter – This letter is to send to families if they have a potential exposure.
