Abstract
A case of identical twins is reported in which only 1 was affected by subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. The affected twin showed a defect of cellular immunity, mainly a decrease of T lymphocytes. This defect therefore appears to be a consequence and not a genetic determinant of the disease.Keywords
