One-hundred-and-seventy-seven children with post-measles complications divided into two comparable groups were studied for the effect of Vit.A Supplementation. Eighty-nine children received Vit.A in doses of 200,000 units daily on two consecutive days in addition to antibacterials and other supportive care and 88 did not reveice Vit.A. The case fatality rate was 16 per cent in those who received VIT.A, while the same was 32 per cent in those who did not receive Vit.A (P < 0.02). There was no statistical difference in the mortality rate among two groups when the children were suffering from severe malnutrition or encephalopathy (P > 0.1).
对177名患麻疹后并发症的儿童进行了分组研究，以探讨补充维生素A的效果。这些儿童被分成两个可比组。89名儿童除接受抗菌药物和其他支持性治疗外，连续两天每天服用20万单位的维生素A，另外88名儿童未接受维生素A治疗。接受维生素A治疗的儿童病死率为16%，而未接受维生素A治疗的儿童病死率为32%（P<0.02）。当儿童患有严重营养不良或脑病时，两组的死亡率无统计学差异（P>0.1）。
