Six cases of adult measles hospitalized in the Department of Infectious Diseases, Erciyes University Hospital, between April 2001 and May 2001, were retrospectively analyzed for clinical and laboratory findings. The diagnosis was established on standard clinical findings in all cases, and the diagnosis was confirmed serologically in tree cases. All patients had fever and maculopapular rash. One patient had splenomegaly, one patient had cough and bronchospasm, three patients had laboratory evidence of hepatitis and one patient had rash on his hands and feet. This epidemic of measles seen in adults indicates that inadequate attention has been given to the immunization in Turkey.
