| PubMedID- 21311582 | The case fatality rate of measles in malnourished infants in developing countries exceeds 20% [26]. |
| PubMedID- 23990836 | It is therefore not implausible that an important part of the explanation for the exceptionally rapid recovery of my malnourished patients with measles and diarrhoea in tillia in 1974 could have been strong polyamine-mediated activation of protein kinase ck2 in intestinal mucosal epithelial cells and leukocytes, which may have led to enhancement of the activities of several different proteins associated with cellular growth processes and therefore to more rapid synthesis of mrna and protein combined with more rapid cell replication, as long as there was no deficiency of any nutrient that could have led to growth limitation either among the essential ones or among those conditionally essential nutrients that mucosal epithelial cells and leukocytes need for rapid growth. |
