Abstract
Though rare, neurological serious adverse events following measles immunization are well documented in scientific literature. However, we could retrieve only 7 published reports of optic neuritis following measles/measles containing vaccines. We report a case of bilateral optic neuritis that developed within 24h of administration of monovalent measles vaccine in an eight-year-old male child during special measles immunization campaign in India.
