%X The article presents the results of a study of the current features of measles in children. The analysis of clinical manifestations, laboratory parameters, and the frequency of complications in vaccinated and unvaccinated patients was carried out. It has been revealed that measles remains highly contagious among the unvaccinated population, while the disease is milder in vaccinated patients. The incubation period averages 10.3 ± 1.4 days. The most common clinical symptoms are fever (98.6%), cough (89.2%), rhinitis (85.1%), and exanthema (94.6%). Laboratory tests revealed characteristic changes, including leukopenia (3.8 ± 1.2 × 10⁹/l), lymphocytosis (42.5 ± 7.8%), and increased ESR (18.4 ± 6.3 mm/h). Complications such as pneumonia (12.8%) and otitis media (4.7%) mainly develop in unvaccinated patients. The study highlights the importance of vaccine prophylaxis to reduce the severity of the disease and the frequency of complications. The results can be used to optimize the therapeutic and diagnostic process and develop preventive measures‎.
