چکیده

Sugiyama live attenuated measles vaccine produced in bovine renal ceIls was administered during pilot studies and a mass immunization programme in Iran. Clinical observations in several of the vaccinees revealed a mild fever lasting 3-4 days which was accompanicd by the appearance of a morbilIiform rash which faded in 2 days. There was no significant difference in rcactions from subcutaneous or intramuscular routes of inoculation. The mean of days of pyrexia was greater in plateau than in mountainous areas. The occurrence of a morbilIiform rash seemed to be higher in plateau than in mountainous regions especiaIly when vaccine was inoculated intramuscularly. When a doubledose of vaccine was administered, the adverse symptoms were more severe. The seroconversion was 95 to 100% ",hen specific antibodies were titrated by seroneutralization or by haemagglutination-inhibition tests.
