Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Infectious Disease Surveillance

Context:

  • Measles incidence declined for seven years prior to 1998.
  • A significant measles epidemic occurred in 1998, a compensatory event after years of decline.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the characteristics of the 1998 measles epidemic.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of surveillance during the epidemic.

Summary:

  • The 1998 epidemic saw measles incidence increase sixfold compared to 1997, reaching 5.8 per 100,000.
  • Teenagers aged 15 and older accounted for 60% of the total cases.
  • The epidemic was geographically concentrated in southern and southwestern regions.

Impact:

  • Highlights the need for improved serological confirmation methods (IgM assays) in measles surveillance.
  • Underscores the vulnerability of adolescent populations to measles outbreaks.
  • Informs public health strategies for future measles prevention and control.
