title: [Thrombopenic purpura following measles vaccination].
abstract: A case of acute thrombocytopenic purpura complicating live measles vaccination is reported. Clinically and morphologically this case is identical to the postinfectious thrombocytopenic purpura. An immunological mechanism has been postulated to explain the thrombocytopenia.
