Five children with atopic dermatitis were studied during natural measles virus infection. Four of the five patients showed temporary clearing of their skin lesions for 3 weeks following the infection. The reduction of cell-mediated immune responses caused by the measles virus may have played a role in the transient improvement of skin conditions in these children. Evidence for T cell involvement in the clinical entity of atopic dermatitis is discussed.
