A case of schizophreniform episode following measles infection in a 27-
year-old woman is presented. The possibility that the clinical picture is a
first description in the literature of an association between a
schizophreniform episode and possible measles-induced allergic encephalitis
is discussed. Other possible connections between measles infection and
schizophreniform episode are also mentioned.
