SUBACUTE SCLEROSING PANENCEPHALITIS (A Report on Two Cases)

ABSTRACT We report two cases of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) which is a rare, late neurological sequel, of measles infection acquired in childhood. The diagnosis was reached by adopting criteria defined by Dyken. Past history of measles was present in both the cases and they showed high titres of measles specific antibody in CSF and serum by quantitative ELISA.
