Several subpopulations of such cells exist, depending upon the type of tissue in which they are found. Nozawa et al (1998) have reported that cells in the germinal centers of lymphoid tissue express B-cell markers. Cells in the interfollicular areas and thymus express T-cell markers.
The occurrence of such cells is not specific for measles but appears to be associated with reactive lymphatic proliferation (Kubota et al, 1988; Delsol et al, 1982; Kjeldsberg and Kim; 1981). Kamel et al (1992) have reported that Warthin-Finkeldey polykaryocytes
