Abstract

In our letter, we presented the challenges within medical biochemistry in a tertiary hospital in a measles outbreak. The letter somewhat shows the current situation in the first part. In the remaining part, the challenges in the work of the medical biochemical laboratory are listed and the significance of the most common biochemical and hematological analyzes for these patients is explained. This letter is an important clinical-epidemiological overview of the current situation that arose as a result of the measles outbreak.
