    Extractions: Experts believe this condition is a form of measles encephalitis (swelling of the brain), caused by an improper response by the immune system to the measles virus. The condition begins with behavioral changes, memory loss, irritability, and problems with school work. As the neurological damage increases, the child experiences seizures, involuntary movements, and further neurological deterioration. Eventually, the child starts suffering from progressive dementia. The optic nerve begins to shrink and weaken (atrophy) and subsequently the child becomes blind. Diagnosis

Causes and Risks SSPE occurs worldwide. However, the incidence of this disease has decreased dramatically in the United States following the nationwide measles immunization program. SSPE tends to occur several years after having measles ( rubeola ) even though the measle recovery appears to have been normal. More males are affected than females, and the disease generally occurs in children and adolescents. Affected individuals generally succumb one to two years after diagnosis, but some may survive for longer periods.

Childhood Infections Topics Bacterial Infections Viral Infections Miscellaneous Infections Viral Infections (For a summary of differential diagnosis of the more common exanthems, see Table 265-8. MEASLES (Rubeola; Morbilli; Nine-Day Measles) A highly contagious, acute viral infection characterized by fever, cough, coryza, conjunctivitis, enanthem (Koplik's spots) on the buccal or labial mucosa, and a spreading maculopapular cutaneous rash. Etiology and Pathogenesis Measles is caused by a paramyxovirus. Measles (like chickenpox) is extremely communicable and is spread mainly by small droplets from the nose, throat, and mouth of a person in the prodromal or an early eruptive stage of the disease or by airborne droplet nuclei. Indirect spread by uninfected persons or by objects is unusual. The communicable period of the disease begins 2 to 4 days before the rash appears until 2 to 5 days after onset. The virus disappears from nose and throat secretions by the time the rash clears. Persons who develop mild desquamation after the rash are no longer infectious. Atypical measles syndrome usually occurs in persons previously immunized with the original killed virus measles vaccines, which are no longer available. Presumably, inactivated measles virus vaccines do not prevent wild virus infection and can sensitize patients so that disease expression is altered significantly. However, atypical measles syndrome may also follow immunization with live, attenuated measles vaccine, perhaps resulting from inadvertent inactivation due to improper storage.

Ghofrani** *Department of Virology, Pasteur Institute of Iran, **Department of Pediatrics Neurology, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Mofid Children's Hospital, Tehran, Iran Keywords: Measles virus, subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), epidemiology Measles virus is endemic throughout the world. The introduction of an effective live-virus vaccine has dramatically reduced the incidence of this disease in industrialized countries. However, measles is still a leading cause of death in young children in some developing countries. Complications involving the central nervous system (CNS) caused by measles virus are dreadful. Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a late progressive disorder of the CNS caused by persistent measles virusinfection. The clinical features of SSPE were accurately described by several investigators in early decades of this century. A viral etiology was suggested in the early reports including that published by Dawson in 1934. However, it was not until the mid '60s that measles virus was clearly identified as the causative agent of SSPE. The clinical presentation of SSPE is variable with widespread disturbances of the CNS. SSPE generally is a fatal disease in children and adolescents, some patients die within a few months but others survive for years in adecerebrate state.
