Measles is an important public health problem in developing nations and there is concern that immune response to measles vaccination may be compromised by paediatric human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Therefore, this study investigated the relationship of immunoglobulin-G (Ig-G) antibody levels in children vaccinated against measles and HIV-1 infection. Further analysis was done to assess the influence of nutritional status on this relationship.
