N2  - In 1933 we reported 13 cases of encephalitis complicating measles.1 This was the largest single series of cases of this disease entity reported in the literature to that date. These cases occurred during an extensive epidemic of measles in 1931 and 1932 (15,001 cases reported). The monthly incidence of the complications was proportionate to that of measles. Milwaukee experienced another epidemic of measles in the first five months of 1938 (27,081 cases reported).

The essential clinical data are summarized in table 1.
