Ghofrani** *Department of Virology, Pasteur Institute of Iran, **Department of Pediatrics Neurology, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Mofid Children's Hospital, Tehran, Iran Keywords: Measles virus, subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), epidemiology Introduction Measles virus is endemic throughout the world. The introduction of an effective live-virus vaccine has dramatically reduced the incidence of this disease in industrialized countries. However, measles is still a leading cause of death in young children in some developing countries. Complications involving the central nervous system (CNS) caused by measles virus are dreadful. Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a late progressive disorder of the CNS caused by persistent measles virusinfection. The clinical features of SSPE were accurately described by several investigators in early decades of this century. A viral etiology was suggested in the early reports including that published by Dawson in 1934. However, it was not until the mid '60s that measles virus was clearly identified as the causative agent of SSPE. The clinical presentation of SSPE is variable with widespread disturbances of the CNS. SSPE generally is a fatal disease in children and adolescents, some patients die within a few months but others survive for years in adecerebrate state.

The disease may develop due to reactivation of the measles virus or an inappropriate immune response to the measles virus. SSPE usually develops 2 to 10 years after the original viral attack. Initial symptoms may include memory loss, irritability, seizures, involuntary muscle movements, and/or behavioral changes, leading to neurological deterioration. include memory loss, irritability, seizures, involuntary muscle movements, and/or behavioral changes, leading to neurological deterioration.

Related Content Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (Disease) Central nervous system Definition SSPE is a progressive, debilitating, and fatal brain disorder caused by infection with a mutant measles rubeola ) virus (a measles virus that has undergone certain genetic changes or mutations). Alternative Names SSPE; Subacute sclerosing leukoencephalitis; Dawson´s encephalitis Causes And Risk Fewer than 10 cases per year are reported in the United States, decreasing the frequency of this disease dramatically, following the nationwide measles immunization program. However, in some countries like India, over 20 cases of SSPE per million people are annually reported. SSPE tends to occur several years after having measles ( rubeola ), even though recovery from the illness appears to have been normal. More males are affected than females, and the disease generally occurs in children and adolescents. Affected individuals frequently die one to two years after being diagnosed with this condition, but some may survive for longer periods. SSPE is due to the direct invasion of brain cells by the mutant measles virus, which provokes brain inflammation (swelling and irritation with presence of extra immune cells) that can last for years.
