Title: Retinopathy following measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination in an immuno-incompetent girl. Author: Schuil J, van de Putte EM, Zwaan CM, Koole FD, Meire FM. Journal: Int Ophthalmol; 1998; 22(6):345-7. PubMed ID: 10937849. Abstract: We describe a 4-year-old girl with subnormal visual acuity due to a bilateral retinopathy. The child had a history of encephalitis following MMR vaccination. Temporary retinopathy associated with measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccination has been described. Recently an idiopathic CD4+ T lymphocytopenia in the child was diagnosed. This cellular immunodeficiency supports our hypothesis of measles retinopathy after vaccination of an immuno-deficient child.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
