Sub acute sclerosing pan encephalitis (SSPE) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder related to a persistent and aberrant measles virus infection. It is associated with poor prognosis and high mortality. We report a case of a seven- year-old boy who manifested the disease despite proper vaccination and with no documented past history of measles. The case is being reported for its atypical presentation, rarity and its possibility of occurrence in young vaccinated subjects, possibly due to undocumented pre-vaccination measles infection.
亚急性硬化性全脑炎(SSPE)是一种罕见的神经退行性疾病,与持续性麻疹病毒异常感染有关。它预后较差且死亡率高。我们报告一例七岁男孩,尽管接种疫苗恰当且既往无麻疹病史记录,但仍患此病。报告该病例是因其非典型表现、罕见性以及在接种疫苗的年轻受试者中发生的可能性,可能是由于接种疫苗前未记录的麻疹感染。
