Measles vaccination after orthotopic liver transplantation.
The effect of primary measles vaccination after orthotopic liver transplantation was evaluated in 18 children. Immunity developed in seven children by serologic criteria. There were no complications directly attributable to the vaccine. These preliminary observations suggest that further study of measles vaccination in this group is warranted.
