Using the method of haemagglutination inhibition, the authors determined the levels of measles antibodies in the saliva of 14 children with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. In 13 of them these antibodies were found in titres from 1:8 to 1:128. In the control groups, comprising 29 children, these

Significantly higher CSF titers of hemagglutination (HI) measles virus antibody were found in 22 patients with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) and more elevated titers of measles virus neutralization (NV) antibody were encountered in 19 patients with SSPE than in 50 children and young adu
Between 1971 and 1978, clinical centres in four provinces of Poland reported 107 cases of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE). This series comprised 73.8% boys and 26.2% girls. Most children were aged 6--8 years, and 66% of them had had measles in the first two years of life. As compared with
Thirty-seven serum and 37 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens from 27 patients with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) were tested for measles virus (MV) IgM antibodies and IgM-class rheumatoid factor (RF) to determine if a temporal relationship exists between SSPE onset and these immunoglob
