“…These findings were similar to those reported by JOSTeAS et al (13). Three cases of infectious mononucleosis (ISI) associated with SSPE were also reported b y F~oRI~vo et al (2). SSPE is k n o w n to be related to chronic measles infection ( t l ) a n d in some eases associated with impaired cell mediated i m m u n i t y (5).…”

Acute and convalescent sera from 77 patients with serologically confirmed influenza, measles and adenovirus infections and from 36 healthy controls were tested for the level of antibodies to Epstein-Barr (EB) virus. In the three groups of patients significantly higher titers of antibodies to EB viral capsid antigen (VCA) were found as compared to the controls. In 19 patients twofold or higher rise in antibody titers between the first and second blood sample was demonstrated. It is suggested that in patients with influenza, measles or adenovirus infections, involvement of lymphocytes leads to reactivation of EB virus and antibody formation is stimulated.

“…It has also been proposed that SSPE may result from interactions between latent measles virus and another virus, and particles resembling papovaviruses (17,195,272) and herpesviruses (69) have been observed in some SSPE biopsies. Other investigators have reported correlations between SSPE and a second clinical infection; e.g., some SSPE patients on September 23, 2020 by guest http://mmbr.asm.org/ Downloaded from contracted chickenpox 1 to 6 months before the onset of SSPE (75), and there have been three reported cases of coincidental infections involving infectious mononucleosis and SPPE (92). Other viruses may also be capable of producing neurological syndromes almost identical to SSPE, as is the case with rubella virus (366,387).…”
