Symptoms of measles include fever and maculopapular skin rash accompanied by cough, coryza and/or conjunctivitis. MeV causes immunosuppression, and severe sequelae of measles include pneumonia, gastroenteritis, blindness, measles inclusion body encephalitis and subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. Case conf...

Measles vaccine failure was first described in 1972. Over the next 20 years, vaccine failure was extensively studied, but during the last 25 years few investigations have been performed. We describe the clinical characteristics of measles in previously vaccinated and unvaccinated patients in California.All confirmed measles cases reported to the California Department of Public Health from 1 January 2000 through 31 December 2015 were reviewed. Clinical characteristics (rates of hospitalization, c...

Xerophthalmia is an important cause of preventable blindness in Nigerian children. Vitamin A deficiency is not the only cause of staphyloma. The vitamin A deficiency can lead to degenerative changes with subsequent softening of the cornea and protrusion of the uveal tissues through the weakest points. We highlight an under-reported case of right anterior staphyloma in a marasmic, 6-month-old child with probable vitamin A deficiency following measles infection. The child developed a measles-like ...
