Immunosuppressive measles encephalitis in a patient with a renal transplant

D P Agamanolis et al. Arch Neurol. 1979 Nov.

Abstract

An inclusion body encephalitis developed in a patient with a renal transplant that was shown by immunofluorescence and electron microscopic studies to be due to measles virus. Measles encephalitis may be an opportunistic infection in children and adults with immunodeficiencies secondary to tumors or to the administration of immunosuppressive drugs.
