Highlights
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a devastating brain disorder that typically affects children and adolescents
Developed countries have observed a considerable decline in the occurrence of new SSPE cases following implementation of universal vaccination programs against measles
A World Health Organization expert committee reviewed the epidemiology of SSPE and observed that approximately 4–11 cases of SSPE occur per 100,000 cases of measles.[2]
