dc.descriptionA clinical study of the effects and management of measles in Zimbabwean children.en
dc.description.abstractMeasles is among the commonest and most serious disease conditions in childhood accounting for an estimated 1.4 million measles deaths annually.1-2 However, in recent years measles deaths have been declining world wide. This decline has been attributed to many factors including improved care of complicated cases.2 In the city of Gweru, Zimbabwe, mortality attributed to measles has been declining since 1967.3 This paper examines the occurrence of complicated measles in Gweru and the effect of the care of these cases on measles mortality in the period 1967 to 89.en
