Atypical Measles Syndrome (Report of One Adult Case)
Atypical measles syndrome has been reported extensively in the pediatric medical literature. It was first recognized by Rauh and Schmidt in 1965 and then it became a well known clinical picture. However, the clinical picture in the adult is similar to that of many other diseases, making the diagnosis elusive. The case reported here, a young man, had been in excellent health until the onset of a perplexing syndrome. He had been ill for 10 days with chills, pharyngitis, and vomiting; later, a nonpruritic, maculopapular rash developed. Symptoms progressed to pneumonitis and hepatitis. In convalescent period, a rubeola titer was obtained and was found to be considerably elevated. Because of the unusual nature and course of the exanthems and the pulmonary involvement, the diagnosis was atypical measles syndrome. Initially, it occurred in children who were exposed to wild measles virus several years after they were immunized with killed measles vaccine. However, in our case a different theory is offered to explain the pathogenesis of this disease..
