“…The paper published by Dr Kingsbury in the Journal of Hygiene in November 1927 [1] is important because it was the first report of the use of convalescent serum for prophylaxis against measles in plantation workers. The report states that ' the coast districts of Selangor [Malaya] were free from measles until 1910'.…”

Measles has been known as a highly contagious serious infection in man for centuries. After a prodromal fever, patients often experience coryza, cough and conjunctivitis followed by a blotchy rash. The disease is more severe in infants and adults with death resulting from encephalitis or pneumonia. Malnourished and immunosuppressed people are also more prone to serious complications and death. Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a rare complication, occurring as late sequela several years after measles infection at a rate of 1–5 per million cases.

The journal that is now Epidemiology & Infection was founded in 1901 as the Journal of Hygiene ‘to fulfil a definite purpose by serving as a focus to English-speaking investigators for works in physics, chemistry, physiology, pathology, bacteriology, parasitology and epidemiology in relation to hygiene and preventive medicine’. In 1987 the name of the journal was changed to Epidemiology & Infection. The reasons for this change were articulated by John Pattison [1] on one of the few occasions that the Editor has directly addressed the readership and formalized the historic shift towards microbiology and epidemiology.
