"The growing susceptibility of adults worries infectious disease experts who know how difficult this infection can be when it is experienced in adulthood. To be clear, measles is hardest on babies. But after that very vulnerable demographic, those most likely to be hospitalized for measles infections are adults over the age of 25."

In some adults, it can lead to brain inflammation or a lung condition requiring a ventilator.
