Abstract
A seven-year-old girl presented with life-threatening pharyngeal haemorrhage. This was subsequently found to arise from one tonsil, and a tonsillectomy eventually halted the bleeding. Two days later she developed measles, confirmed by serology and characteristic histology. Spontaneous tonsillar haemorrhage is extremely rare, and not previously reported in measles.Entities:
