Answer:

The infection that warrants airborne isolation is that of Measles.

Explanation:

  • Measles is a serious viral disorder borne by a virus named 'Measles' (the disease has got its name from the virus causing it).
  • Small children who are unvaccinated and pregnant women are the most vulnerable probable victims of measles infection.
  • The disease is highly contagious and spreads through coming in contact with an infected person.
  • The early symptoms are high fever, runny nose, rashes, inflamed eyes, etc.
