  • Title: Measles inclusion-body encephalitis in a child with treated acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
    Author: Drysdale HC, Jones LF, Oppenheimer DR, Tomlinson AH.
    Journal: J Clin Pathol; 1976 Oct; 29(10):865-72. PubMed ID: 789401.
    Abstract:
    A child with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, being treated in the UKALL II Trial, had while in remission an attack of measles and made a normal recovery. Four months later she developed an acute encephalopathy and died within two weeks. The brain showed mild inflammatory features and widespread inclusion bodies in neurones and glial cells. Immunofluorescence proved an infection with measles virus. Similar cases have been called SSPE; reasons are given for preferring the term "measles inclusion-body encephalitis".
