Abstract

1 patient with SSPE at 4 y. He had had measles and measles encephalitis at 7.5 months. In China, the first and the second measles immunizations are recommended at 8 months and at 18–24 months, respectively. We recommend above immunizations should be given separately at 6 months and at 12–15 months.
