[Neurologic complications of measles--clinical examples]

Severe neurological complications are presented in the course of measles in three older children. In one child encephalomeningitis was diagnosed, and in two children encephalomeningingomyelitis was recognise. Favourable results were achieved after the use of hormonal therapy under antibiotic cover. The children were cured. In order to prevent effectively measles and itd complications, the prophylaxis should be intensified through rigorous programme of vaccination against this disease.
