Altered Reactivity to Measles Virus: Atypical Measles in Children Previously Immunized With Inactivated Measles Virus Vaccines
Abstract
An atypical measles illness occurred in ten children who had received inactivated (killed) measles virus vaccine five to six years earlier. The illness is characterized by a two- to three-day prodrome of fever and complaints of pain (head, muscle, and abdomen, or both muscle and abdomen) followed by the development of a maculopapular rash with petechial, vesicular, and urticarial components. Peripheral edema and pneumonia occurred in almost all the children. In three instances, significant pleural effusions were noted. Serologic determinations established the diagnosis in all ten children, but measles virus was recovered from none of them.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
In animal models of other coronaviruses and prior inactivated RSV or measles vaccines, VAERD is usually linked to Th2-biased CD4+ responses with elevated IL-4, IL-5, or IL-13.
“In animal models of infections with other coronaviruses and for previous whole-cell inactivated vaccines developed for respiratory syncytial virus and measles virus, VAERD has usually been associated with the development of T helper 2 cell (TH2 cell)-biased CD4+ T cell responses, with significantly increased levels of interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-5 and/or IL-13 (refs12,126,165–174).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
