Abstract
In a 19 month old girl and a 10 month old girl the Guillain-Barré syndrome developed
within a week after they received, respectively, live measles-rubella vaccine and
live measles vaccine. The older child was immune to rubella at the time of vaccination,
but both girls demonstrated a primary measles antibody response. Serum obtained during
the acute and convalescent stages from the younger child was tested for antibodies
against the herpes viruses (herpes simplex, Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus and
varicella-zoster) and found to be negative.
