The US is currently experiencing the greatest number of reported cases of measles, also known as rubeola, since the disease was eliminated in 2000. Outbreaks have been confirmed in 22 states. When measles occurs in late pregnancy, congenital infection is possible with variable expression and increased risk of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. In this session, we will review the April 2019 ACOG practice advisory on management of pregnant and reproductive-age women during a measles outbreak. We will also cover 2 CDC approved algorithms for management of individuals: 1. Exposed to measles, and 2. Presenting with symptoms of measles.
