title: Severe Illness in Children Exposed to Natural Measles after Prior Vaccination against the Disease: A Report of Six Cases.
abstract: Abstract Six similar cases of moderate to severe illness after exposure to natural measles in children previously vaccinated against the disease are described. It is suggested that an Arthus-type antigen-antibody reaction is responsible for the clinical features observed. There is evidence that inactivated measles vaccine may be the causative factor.
