Özet
A 13-month-old male presented with repetitive episodes of myoclonic jerks of the head and extremities for two months. His past medical history revealed that his non-immunized mother had measles at the time of delivery. Measles antibody titers in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were 1/512 (hemagglutinin inhibition [HI]) and 1/128 HI, respectively.
