AIM: The study aimed to compare the demographic, clinical and vaccination status of measles cases in 2023 in our region receiving migration from Syria and to evaluate the effect of migration on disease dynamics.
METHODS: This retrospective study analysed the demographic profiles, clinical features and vaccination status of a total of 98 (67 children born and raised in Turkey [group 1] and 31 children of Syrian origin [group 2]) clinically compatible measles patients presenting to all healthcare institutions in Batman, Turkey, in 2023.
RESULTS: Significant differences were observed between groups in vaccination coverage (90.3% unvaccinated amongst Group 2 vs. 55.2% amongst Group 1, p < 0.001), IgM positivity (87.1% vs. 26.9%, p < 0.001) and hospitalisation rates (38.7% vs.16.4%, p = 0.015). Group 2 exhibited higher prevalence of fever (93.5% vs. 70.1%, p = 0.010) and cough (58.1% vs. 26.9%, p = 0.003) than Group 1.
CONCLUSION: The study highlights the impact of migration and socio-economic factors on measles dynamics. Lower vaccination rates amongst Syrian migrants contribute to increased measles incidence and severity. Strengthening vaccination programmes and public health initiatives are crucial for controlling measles outbreaks and improving health outcomes, particularly in vulnerable populations.
