  • Title: [Pneumonia caused by measles: description of a clinical case of giant cell pneumonia in a non-immunosuppressed adolescent patient].
    Author: Sada-Díaz E, Pasquel-García P, Narváez O, García-Torres E.
    Journal: Bol Med Hosp Infant Mex; 1990 Jul; 47(7):524-7. PubMed ID: 2206421.
    Abstract:
    Measles pneumonia is the most frequent complications associated with mortality in this infection. There are two types, one corresponds to the giant-cells pneumonia and the other one to lung superinfection after measles infection. The first one has been occurred in immunosuppressed patients, without rash. We reported a measles pneumonia case in a previously healthy adolescent girl who had a fatal pneumonia by giant cells demonstrated by open lung biopsy. The review of the literature showed that this is very unusual in normal population.
