D. Siegel and S. Z. Hirschman

Two adult patients are reported in whom abnormal liver function was a prominent clinical feature during acute measles infection. Hepatic function returned to normal in both patients as the measles infection resolved. Hepatitis may be a salient clinical manifestation of acute measles infection of adults.
