Habe ich eigentlich schonmal etwas zu #SSPE geschrieben?
This is a real thing that can happen, has happened, and will happen again…

Also: it will kill one in ca 3,000 infected children even up to 10 years after the infection. #SSPE
With measles making a resurgence, read this research from India about biomarkers in Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE), which is a rare but devastating neurologic complication of measles.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subacute_sclerosing_panencephalitis Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), also known as Dawson disease, is a rare form of progressive brain inflammation caused by a persistent infection with the measles virus.
If you survive a case of the measles without the vaccine preventing it running it's course measles, victims can be dormant for many years then mutate into Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis. The fact MMR vaccine works so well amounts to a stroke of luck #SSPE

“ #SSPE tends to occur several years after a person has #measles, even though the person seems to have fully recovered from the illness…. Immunization against measles is the only known prevention for SSPE.” #Ivax2protect

“A school-age child in Los Angeles has died of a rare complication from #measles, years after being infected with the virus…. the child got measles as an infant before they were eligible for their first measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) shot.” #SSPE

On September 11, 2025, a school-age child in Los Angeles died from subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, #SSPE, due to #measles that was contracted during their infancy. The infant could not get the MMR #vaccine because they were too young.

#SSPE subacute sclerosing panencephalitis is a rare brain disorder linked to an early #measles infection.
This child was infected as an infant, prior to reaching the age of vaccine eligibility.
SSPE is a progressive disease with poor prognosis occurring several years after acute measles. Most patients die 5-10 years after diagnosis. There are treatments but no cure. We may see more cases in the coming years related to the measles outbreaks. #sspe #measles #vaccination
Most of that #InfantMortality due to #SSPE was entirely preventable by using the #vaccines against #measles. These death are on #RFKjr & #Trump, who made this nut job secretary of #HHS.

Just arrived in Basel for the Symposium of the Swiss Society of Psychiatric Epidemiology. This afternoon I will be giving a short presentation on @galenos.bsky.social
Looking forward to all the other presentations too! #SSPE #GALENOS
Antivaxers don't care that MMR and other vaccinations aren't just self-protection, they're also altruistic.
Kids don't get MMR until they're 1, so what happens population immunity breaks down?
Exposure.
#SSPE is a dreadful disease, universally fatal 💔

5/11 LONG-TERM NIGHTMARE: Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis
Rare but devastating condition where measles virus hides in brain, flares up years later.
Children lose ability to move and speak. Nearly all die.
Higher risk when babies born with measles or infected in infancy.
#SSPE #LongTermEffects
#DYK Children who caught measles before age 2 seem to be at higher risk than average of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE)? SSPE most often shows up 7 to 11 YRS AFTER the initial measles infection. There is no cure for #SSPE. #ResearchMatters #medsky
