Abstract
A study to assess chromosomal damage in persons with acute viral diseases was undertaken in view of conflicting reports in the literature concerning such damage. Forty children with measles, mumps, and chickenpox, or who had received measles vaccine, were investigated and compared with a control group of 12 children. No greater incidence of chromosomal abnormalities was found in the study group than in the control group.
