Measles. How long does measles last and how long afler the child Is cured before she can1 go out? O. Answer The Illness develops In from 7 to 18 days after exposure to Infection, and the rash appears after three or four days of Illness. The rash lasts four or five days andhen gradually disappears In most communities the health board regulations require isolation for a period of not less than two weeks from the onset of the Illness. So far as- the patient's own health is concerned, he may go out as soon as he is able to be up and about.

The contagion or infection in measles is not from the rash or the fine scaling of the skin following the rash, but from the nose and throat discharges In the stage before theTash or Illness develops.
