ABSTRACT

We present a 17-months girl who received one subcutaneous dose of Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine during a mass immunization campaign on August 2001, on Trujillo, Peru. Four weeks following the vaccination campaign, she presented progressive neurological damage in the medulla oblongata and its cranial nerves caused by an aseptic meningitis located in the pontine cistern. Two years later on, she began with neurological improvement, and at present, almost five years after the vaccination, she persists still with serious neurological sequel.
