Острая корь с пневмонитом у иммунокомпетентного взрослого.

Корь является весьма заразной, но предотвращаемой с помощью вакцин вирусной инфекции, которую в последнее время во всем мире, в том числе в таких странах, как Соединенное Королевство, удалось искоренить эндемическую корь с помощью программ вакцинации. Корь, как правило, представляет собой самоограничивающуюся болезнь, однако редко она может вызвать серьезные, угрожающие жизни заболевания, особенно когда она осложняется дыхательным или неврологическим вмешательством. Эти серьезные осложнения, как правило, не проявляются в отсутствии иммунодепрессии. Мы описываем редкий случай острой кори с пнев

Measles is a highly contagious but vaccine-preventable airborne-transmitted viral infection of which there has been a recent resurgence of cases worldwide over the past year, including in countries such as the UK, which had previously successfully achieved endemic measles elimination through vaccination programmes. Measles is typically a self-limiting illnes…

Ongoing Measles in the Developed and Developing World.

Measles is a vaccine-preventable illness. Nevertheless, in recent years, measles is still endemic and epidemic in both the developed world and the developing world. The public perception of measles in the past was that it was not a big deal. However, measles is associated with a number of complications which can be places in three categories which are: acute(diarrhea, otitis media, pneumonia, encephalitis, seizures, and death) and delayed-subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) and post-measles immune amnesia. Contrary to the beliefs of the anti-vaccine lobby, measles is bad. In acute measl…

Feasibility assessment of measles and rubella eradication.

This report addresses the epidemiological aspects and feasibility of measles and rubella eradication and the potential resource requirements in response to the request of the Director-General at the Seventieth World Health Assembly held on May 31, 2017. A guiding principle is that the path toward measles and rubella eradication should serve to strengthen primary health care, promote universal health coverage, and be a pathfinder for new vision and strategy for immunization over the next decade as laid out in the Immunization Agenda 2030. Specifically, this report: 1) highlights the importance …

Measles re-emerges and recommendation of vaccination.

Measles is a highly infectious viral illness and is one of the world's most contagious diseases that can affect all people if they have not been vaccinated or have not had it before. Before measles vaccine became available in 1963, major epidemic occurred approximately every 2 to 3 years and thus 99% of the people were thought to have been infected naturally with measles virus and got immune for life. In 2000, measles was declared eliminated from the United States, and yet 1215 cases have been reported from 30 states as of August 22, 2019. Currently, there are several large measles outbreaks u…

Measles: A clinician's guide to a reemerging disease.

Measles has re-emerged in the US for a variety of reasons, including misinformation spread by antivaccination advocates and imported cases from countries where infected children may be too young for immunization. Prompt diagnosis and isolation can help reduce measles transmission.

[Hypoxemic measles pneumonitis in an immunocompetent adult].

Measles is a highly contagious viral disease and one of the biggest causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. Transmission occurs from person to person through direct contact or by aerosolization of pharyngeal secretions. It can be responsible for severe respiratory and neurological complications. The diagnosis is clinical, confirmed by serology, PCR or culture of the measles virus. Treatment is symptomatic and prevention is based on a well conducted vaccination. In severe cases, the use of vitamin A is recommended by the World Health Organization, at least in chidren. Antivirals (ribavi…

Measles 2018: a tale of two anniversaries.

This year is the 50th anniversary of the reduction in measles in the USA, following introduction of general vaccination, but also the 20th anniversary of a now retracted research paper that suggested a link between the measles–mumps–rubella (MMR) vaccination and autism, which contributed to falling vaccination rates and re‐emergence of measles cases globally.

[Current situation of measles in Japan, 2017].

A large-scale national measles epidemic occurred among mainly in teenagers and young adults in 2007. MHLW announced ''Special infectious disease prevention guidelines for measles'' (issued on 28 December 2007; Revised issued on 30 March 2013), and Japan decided the elimination target year was fiscal year (FY) 2015. In 2008, it continued to be a large-scale nation epidemic exceeding 10,000 cases, and a large number of 0 to 1 year old infants, teenagers and young adults were suffering. Many cases were unvaccinated, single dose vaccination or unknown vaccination history. The number of measles cas…

An Outbreak of Measles in a University in Korea, 2014.

Measles has been declared eliminated from the Korea since 2006. In April 2014, a measles outbreak occurred at a University in Seoul. A total of 85 measles cases were identified. In order to estimate vaccine effectiveness of measles vaccine, we reviewed the vaccination records of the university students. The vaccine effectiveness of two doses of measles containing vaccine was 60.0% (95% CI, 38.2-74.1; P < 0.05). Transmission was interrupted after the introduction of outbreak-response immunization. The outbreak shows that pockets of under-immunity among college students may have facilitated the …

Zinc supplementation for the treatment of measles in children.

BACKGROUND: Measles is an important cause of childhood morbidity and mortality globally, despite increasing vaccine coverage. Zinc plays a significant role in the maintenance of normal immunological functions, therefore supplements given to zinc-deficient children will increase the availability of zinc and could reduce measles-related morbidity and mortality. This is an update of a review first published in 2015. OBJECTIVES: To assess the effects of zinc supplementation in reducing morbidity and mortality in children with measles. SEARCH METHODS: We searched CENTRAL (03 February 2017, Issue …

Measles surveillance in Canada: Trends for 2014.

BACKGROUND: Measles elimination status was achieved in Canada in 1998. The Public Health Agency of Canada compiles evidence for the Pan American Health Organization to confirm that criteria for the verification of measles elimination continue to be met. OBJECTIVE: To describe measles activity in Canada for 2014 in order to support Canada's ongoing measles elimination status. METHODS: Using data captured by the Canadian Measles and Rubella Surveillance System and the Measles and Rubella Surveillance pilot project during 2014, the distribution of measles cases by demographics, immunization sta…

[Plan for the Elimination of Measles and Rubella in Spain].

The current Plan for the elimination of measles and rubella is made of the Plan for the elimination of measles in Spain, set up in 2001, and the Surveillance protocol of rubella and congenital rubella syndrome in the phase of elimination, established in 2007. The monitoring of the elimination of both diseases conducted from the European Region of World Health Organization (WHO) has been reinforced since 2010. An annual report with information on the situation of measles and rubella in The Member Estates is being requested since 2013. The Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality nominat…
