title: Liver involvement in measles infection of young adults.
abstract: Abnormal liver function was found in 34 (52%) of 67 young adults with measles; 5 of them (7%) also had a rise in bilirubin levels accompanied by icterus. Awareness of liver involvement in measles has been steadily increasing; consideration should be given to hepatitis as a possible complication of measles in young adults.
