To assist the Department of Health in the collection and storing of measles sera the Wellington branch of the National Blood Transfusion Service of New Zealand has issued a bulletin to each of its members asking them, should they hear of an adult measles (not German measles) patient who might be willing to do so, to induce him or her to give blood for this purpose. It is- stated that a single pint of blood from a convalescent measles patient would provide enough sera to treat hundreds of little patients. The object of the effort is to have in store a stock sufficient to meet the urgent demand should a measles epidemic occur.
