[Measles and pregnancy. Evolution and management].
Measles is a highly infectious disease. In Mexico, nevertheless the postvaccine era, continue being an endemic disease. It has been described that measles increase the maternal mortality, because pregnant women have a more severe clinical course of the disease; measles also has negative repercussion on pregnancy, increasing the frequency of premature labor. We report two pregnant women complicated with measles, both of them had a clinical course of the disease and they didn't have obstetric or neonatal complications.
