No measles for Yugoslav queen

February 16, 1931


Queen Marie of Yugoslavia's doctors are denying reports that she is suffering from the measles, according to an Associated Press dispatch.   They state she is recovering from a bronchitis and a mild rash.   The Queen was visiting her mother, Queen Marie of Roumania, when she became ill.

The New York Times is reporting that Marie's illness, first "announced as grip and then measles, is now reported to be a light case of smallpox complicated by bronchitis."   Her temperature and pulse "are satisfactory" and her doctors are not worried.     Queen Helen, the mother of Crown Prince Michael, is recovering from grip, and has been confined to her bed for more than a week."
