Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis, Measles, SSPEAbstract
Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis is one of the progressive, fatal slow virus infections of the central nervous system caused by a defective or mutant measles virus. Diagnosis is based on the typical clinical features and elevated measles antibody titers in the cerebrospinal fluid. Possible underlying mechanisms of SSPE which is one of the long-term complications of measles infection in measles contracted children, clinical fetaures of SSPE patients and current treatment options will be reviewed.
