How can measles lead to "immune amnesia"? We turned to the genre that's infamous for amnesia as a plot twist—the soap opera—to show what happens when a case of measles makes the immune system forget how to fight other illnesses.

Tener sarampión puede ser tan dramático como una telenovela. Y también puede hacer que tu sistema inmunológico olvide cómo combatir otras enfermedades. Esta “amnesia inmunológica” puede suprimir tus defensas, pero la vacuna contra el sarampión ayuda a mantener la inmunidad que has desarrollado a lo largo de tu vida.
