“… 14 Mutations in M proteins result in interference with the assembly of new viral particles and their budding, which form viral particles that are transmitted via ribonucleic protein with a trans-synaptic spread. 15 Immaturity of the cellular immunity mechanism has been critical as suggested by earlier age of acquiring measles infection resulting in higher incidences of SSPE. 11 Although other viruses have been studied in association with SSPE, there is no data to support their role in causation of the disease.…”

Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis is a progressive neurodegenerative disease. It usually occurs 7–10 years after measles infection. The clinical course is characterized by progressive cognitive decline and behavior changes followed by focal or generalized seizures as well as myoclonus, ataxia, visual disturbance, and later vegetative state, eventually leading to death. It is diagnosed on the basis of Dyken’s criteria. There is no known cure for subacute sclerosing panencephalitis to date, but it is preventable by ensuring that an effective vaccine program for measles is made compulsory for all children younger than 5 years in endemic countries.
