Abstract: Autoimmune and neuroimmune diseases prevalence rates are rising
enormously. It would be difficult to explain with genetic and environmental
factors. Noteworthy, this rising maybe related with childhood vaccine programs.
There is also a lack of information about this topic in pediatric and family
medicine practice in some countries like Turkey. Prevention and treatment of
these diseases is possible if pathogenesis could be well understood. We attempt
to review this topic in immunological and neurological perspectives for this
purpose. We searched Pubmed from year 2000 to date with neuroimmune,
autoimmune, measles and vaccine link keywords in some combinations and related
topics. The obtained information from this search dealt with some important
subheadings. There is a need for further investigations of neuroimmune disease
and the possible vaccine link.
Keywords: Neuroimmune, autoimmune, measles, vaccine link
