A Predictor of Oxidative Stress in the Children with Measles: Thiol-Disulfide Homeostasis.

Objective: Measles is an infectious disease, in which oxidative stress increases. Thiols are an antioxidant substance which play a critical role in programmed cell death, detoxification, and regulation of cellular enzymatic activity, and the thiol-disulfide balance is associated with some diseases. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the thiol-disulfide balance in children with measles.
