The correct answers are:

  • ear infections.
  • pneumonia.

Explanation for each option:

  • Ear infections: Correct. Measles can weaken the immune system, making patients more susceptible to secondary bacterial infections, including ear infections (otitis media).

  • Encephalitis: Incorrect. Encephalitis is a rare but serious complication of measles itself, not a secondary bacterial infection.

  • Mumps: Incorrect. Mumps is a viral infection caused by a different virus, not a secondary bacterial infection related to measles.

  • The common cold: Incorrect. The common cold is typically caused by viruses, not bacteria, and is not considered a secondary bacterial infection.

  • Influenza: Incorrect. Influenza is caused by the influenza virus and is not a secondary bacterial infection.

  • Pneumonia: Correct. Pneumonia can occur as a secondary bacterial infection in patients with measles, especially in those with weakened immune systems.

In summary, patients with measles are particularly at risk for secondary bacterial infections such as ear infections and pneumonia.
