Measles virus may persist in intestinal tissue, particularly that affected by Crohn's disease, and early exposure to measles may be a risk factor for the development of Crohn's disease. Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis occur in the same families and may share a common aetiology. In view of the rising incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), we exam...
BACKGROUND We compared the results of a serum-based measles immunoglobulin M (IgM) test with results of tests using paired reconstituted dried filter paper blood spot (DBS) samples to assess the feasibility of using DBS samples for measles diagnostic procedures. METHODS We collected 588 paired serum and DBS samples from 349 children aged 8 months through 12 years at Mulago Hospital in Kampala...
Strebel et al. misinterpreted the authors' paper on the role of schools in measles transmission. As Strebel et al. noted, the main reason for the outbreak was low vaccine coverage among children aged 5-14 years, together with a marked reduction in the incidence of measles over the past 10 years. Because of the high measles vaccine coverage in younger age groups, many children in Niakhar have ...
BACKGROUND From 2002 through 2006, Republic of Korea conducted extensive measles elimination activities and declared elimination in 2006. An outbreak of measles involving 180 confirmed cases occurred during 2007. METHODS An outbreak investigation was performed and enhanced surveillance was implemented. Detailed case investigations and laboratory testing included serologic and molecular diagno...
Objective: To investigate the epidemiological trends of measles in the Littoral, North-west, South-west and Western regions of Cameroon in order to improve measles control. Design and Methods: Cross-sectional study of retrolective data collected on cases of measles from January 1997 to April 2003 and stored in registers at regional levels. Child age, immunization and disease status, complicatio...
Background Measles is a contagious illness with symptoms including fever, cough and rash. Although after the start of vaccination, its mortality rate has decreased significantly, but in some countries, the disease still leads to dangerous complications. Since infectious diseases such as measles has long been of interest to practitioners, in this study the perspective of Traditional Iranian Medi...
BACKGROUND Reduction of measles incidence and mortality has been encouraging in China. However, it remains an important public health concern among infants. This study aimed to examine the space-time distribution pattern of infant measles occurrence for the period of 1999-2008 in Shandong, China. METHODS AND FINDINGS Measles cases among infants aged younger than 1 year were obtained from the ...
The mortality from measles was studied in an urban area of Guinea-Bissau one year before and five years after the introduction of a vaccination programme. The years after the introduction of immunisation saw a decline in mortality among unvaccinated children with measles. This decline occurred despite a lower age at infection and an increasing prevalence of malnourished children. State of nutri...
BACKGROUND According to the World Health Organization (WHO), African region accounts for 36% of deaths caused by measles worldwide. Nigeria has, over the years, recorded the highest average annual measles incidence per 100,000 populations in Africa. Measles epidemics have consistently been reported in northern Nigeria, but not in the South; reports of reduced protective haemagglutination inhibi...
OBJECTIVE To evaluate age-specific measles susceptibility in Australia and 17 European countries. METHODS As part of the European Sero-Epidemiology Network 2 (ESEN2), 18 countries collected large national serum banks between 1996 and 2004. These banks were tested for measles IgG and the results converted to a common unitage to enable valid intercountry comparisons. Historical vaccination and ...
