title: Sputum cytology in measles infection. A case report.
abstract: A resurgence of measles, a highly infectious viral infection, has occurred in the United States. In this report the sputum cytology from a case of measles pneumonia is described and discussed. Only a few recent reports have described the cytopathologic changes of measles. Familiarity with the typical cytologic changes of measles will assist in the diagnosis of this infection.
