A 6-year-old child presents to the emergency department with sudden onset of high fever, cough, and small spots with white centers inside the mouth. Upon further discussion, the parents mention that they opted out of their child's routine MMR vaccination due to personal beliefs. What is the most likely diagnosis?
The child is exhibiting classic symptoms of measles, which includes high fever, cough, and Koplik's spots (small spots with white centers inside the mouth). These signs and symptoms are highly indicative of a measles infection, especially in a child who has not received the MMR vaccine which protects against measles, mumps, and rubella.
