متن کاملExpression of measles virus RNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with measles, SSPE, and autoimmune diseases.
In order to characterize measles virus (MV) infection in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), RNA was isolated from PBMCs after PHA-stimulation for 72 hr of 9 patients with acute measles, 16 patients with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), 13 patients with various autoimmune diseases, and 16 healthy control donors.

BACKGROUND When measles vaccines were widely introduced in the 1970s, there were concerns that they might cause subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE): a very rare, late-onset, neurological complication of natural measles infection.
