Measles may lead to serious, fatal complications not often associated with the disease, a new study finds.

Almost a third of all reported cases of measles have complications such as pneumonia, hepatitis and viral meningitis, according to the study, published Monday in the medical journal BMJ Case Reports. The authors describe three cases of adult measles with additional complications as a direct result of the infection.
