  ABSTRACT: Measles is one of the most contagious infectious diseases and is a public health problem because of its high death rate, especially in young children. In most cases, measles is responsible in moderate forms, but it can be responsible for complications mainly respiratory and neurological. Macrophagic activation syndrome secondary to measles has been rarely reported in the literature. We report in this article the case of a 3 years old child who presented a macrophagic activation syndrome after measles, treated with boluses of methylprednisolone with good evolution.
