  • Title: Subacute measles encephalitis complicating Hodgkin's disease in an adult.
    Author: Wolinsky JS, Swoveland P, Johnson KP, Baringer JR.
    Journal: Ann Neurol; 1977 May; 1(5):452-7. PubMed ID: 214019.
    Abstract:
    A progressive neurological illness characterized by myoclonus, motor and sensory deficits, and lethargy occurred in a patient with Hodgkin's disease and was fatal within two months. A focal inclusion cell encephalitis was demonstrated by immunohistological means to be due to measles virus. Measles encephalitis must be considered a potential opportunistic agent in the immune-compromised host.
