Subacute measles encephalitis complicating Hodgkin's disease in an adult

J S Wolinsky et al. Ann Neurol. 1977 May.

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.
