Abstract
The severity of measles is greatest in the developing countries, where a high proportion of children have nutritional deficiencies. Nutritional deficiencies may playa part in the complications that result from measles infection. Nutritional deficiencies may also be the reason for the young age at which infection is found in children in developing countries; the child with severe measles and an immune system that is suppressed as a result of malnutrition secretes the virus three times longer than does a child with normal nutrition.
