INTRODUCTION Preventable diseases like measles and mumps are occurring with increasing frequency in the U.S. despite the availability of an effective vaccine. Given concern that an outbreak may occur among military recruits, we compared serologic evidence of immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella among military recruits with known herd immunity thresholds and determined whether the current Dep...

Introduction. Due to the increased incidence of measles in Russia and many other regions world, vaccines for prevention are especially demand. Ensuring quality vaccine effective disease is within scope tasks state policy our country.
 Objective. Evaluation experience using a pharmacopoeial standard material activity measurement specific virus with component that used Russian Federation pre...

BACKGROUND Global deaths from measles have decreased notably in past decades, due to both increases in immunization rates and decreases in measles case fatality ratios (CFRs). While some aspects of the reduction in measles mortality can be monitored through increases in immunization coverage, estimating the level of measles deaths (in absolute terms) is problematic, particularly since incidence...

Infectious diseases affect millions of people every year. In fact, more than 17 million deaths worldwide each year are attributed to infectious diseases [6]. An endemic disease is a disease which persists over time in a given population or geographic region [4]. For example, prior to the development of the measles vaccine in the 1960’s and eradication of measles from the United States in 2000, ...

To the editor: Parent du Châtelet et al. recently described the ongoing measles outbreak in France [1]. We would like to highlight a specific aspect of this outbreak: the significant change in the age distribution of measles cases. In fact, the proportion of cases aged under one year has increased significantly from 2008 to 2010 and this population represents to date the highest incidence rate ...

The epidemiology of measles has been investigated in Niakhar, a rural area of Senegal, during two periods, 1983-1986 and 1987-1990. Following a major increase in immunization coverage beginning in 1987, the case fatality ratio for all ages declined fourfold from the first to the second period (relative risk (RR) = 0.24, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.13-0.46). The measles incidence for children...

1993 Marks Fewest Reported Measles Cases in U.S. As of July 3, 1993, (week 26), local and state health departments reported a provisional total of 167 measles cases for 1993-the lowest total reported for the first 26 weeks of any year since surveillance began in 1943. The represents a 99% decrease from the 13,787 cases reported during the first 26 weeks of 1990, the peak of the recent resurgenc...

In 2013, the 66th session of the Regional Committee of the World Health Organization (WHO) South-East Asia Region (SEAR) established a goal to eliminate measles and to control rubella and congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) in SEAR by 2020. Current recommended measles elimination strategies in the region include 1) achieving and maintaining ≥95% coverage with 2 doses of measles-containing vaccine...

The article presents the results of a retrospective analysis incidence measles in Republic Uzbekistan for 20 years (from 2001-2020). In 2017, received WHO certificate elimination country, but 2018-2019, there were large outbreaks world. Imported cases facilitated spreading this infection Uzbekistan. describes details outbreak that occurred during period Tashkent, and characterizes epidemiologic...

Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease of children and young adults that may occur as an uncommon complication 7–10 years after measles infection. In – endemic countries like India, the incidence this fatal high more number new cases are detected in recent times. case series, we have presented three SSPE between 4 5 age group, with abnormal movemen...
