| dc.description.abstract | A small retrospective study carried out in rural Bangladesh identified respiratory illness, diarrhoea and conjunctival dryness as complications of measles. A case-fatality rate of 1.3% was recorded. Association between length of diarrhoea and conjunctival dryness was noted. However, no difference was observed in the anthropometric data between cases and controls.
