Abstract
The development of unilateral hypertransradiancy (Macleod's syndrome) is described in two children after measles. In both instances, radiographs taken before this development indicated normal pulmonary vasculature and confirm that this syndrome can result from infection acquired after birth. The hypertransradiancy developed within two weeks in one case, suggesting that in the early stage it reflected a functional reduction in blood flow and only later hypoplasia of the alveoli and vascular system. Evidence that the bronchial disease was not really unilateral is discussed.
