Measles Immune Suppression: Functional Impairment or Numbers Game?
Figure 1
Schematic representation of the measles paradox.
Different levels of lymphopenia (A), systemic virus loads (B), and virus-specific immune responses (C) after subclinical (blue), mild (green), moderate (black), or severe (red) morbillivirus infections. Panel D shows a model for immune suppression caused by moderate morbillivirus infection as shown in panels A, B, and C (adapted from [13]).
