Abstract
The current increase in the numbers of cases of measles and congenital rubella has prompted a reevaluation of immunization strategies because of the increasing numbers of adults and children who are susceptible to these potentially devastating illnesses.1 , 2 The neurologic sequelae of wild measles and rubella infections are less frequent after vaccination.3 4 5 6 7 We wish to report bilateral sensorineural hearing loss due to live measles—rubella vaccination in an adult.Keywords
