Low serum retinol is associated with increased severity of measles in New York City children
Nutr Rev.

Abstract
Children with no known prior vitamin A deficiency exhibited a significant decline in their serum retinol levels during the acute phase of measles. This decline in circulating retinol was associated with increased duration of fever, higher hospitalization rates, and decreased antibody titers.
