Measles-rubella vaccine-associated MOG-antibody positive acute demyelinating encephalomyelitis with optic neuritis in a child.

Measles-rubella (MR) vaccine-associated encephalopathy is rare and coexistence with optic neuritis (ON) has never been reported. Only two patients (one child and one adult) had 'MR Vaccine-associated myelin-oligodendrocyte-glycoprotein antibody (MOGAb) positive encephalopathy'. Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), a surface myelin protein, is the target of the immune system in this disease.
