Zusammenfassung

Although rare, encephalitis and hepatitis are major complications of measles that are more common in adults than in infants. On the other hand, although several other complications of measles, such as pneumonia and myocarditis, are found in all ages, acute pancreatitis in measles is very rare in both children and adults. We describe a 16-year-old female patient with measles encephalitis who developed acute pancreatitis. The response to steroid therapy was favorable.
