Measles and the state of nutrition

Abstract
The severity of an attack of measles is largely determined by the underlying state of nutrition at the time of the attack. Evidence is presented which suggests that, conversely, measles may be responsible for the precipitation of malnutrition in undernourished children, by a combination of several different mechanisms.
