Measles mystery: can the same virus both weaken and strengthen immunity?

NCT ID NCT06923631

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 29 times

Summary

This study looks at 100 children to understand why measles can both suppress the immune system (making them vulnerable to other infections) and also create lifelong immunity to measles itself. Researchers will measure antibodies and immune cells before and after infection to see how the virus changes the immune system. The goal is to learn more about 'immune amnesia' and how long it lasts.
