A young woman with firm evidence of early multiple sclerosis (MS), who had never had measles, developed a clinically and serologically evident measles infection. Follow‐up 1 year later confirmed the MS diagnosis. Thus, if measles can have a causal role in MS, it is probably not the only agent with this ability.
