Clin Case Rep. 2017 Apr 20;5(6):867-870. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.783. eCollection 2017 Jun.

Abstract

Measles infection, postliver transplant, may lead to a fatal graft loss. Individuals who have been previously exposed to the measles antigen may have a modified disease presentation. Although vaccination may not provide solid immunity, it ameliorates the severity of the disease.

Keywords: Liver transplant; measles; rejection.
