Measles cases increased by 41% in 2001-02, primarily affecting children aged 1-9 years. The proportion of unvaccinated measles cases rose significantly, highlighting a critical public health concern.

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Measles remains a significant public health concern globally.
  • Vaccination is the most effective preventive measure against measles.
  • Surveillance data is crucial for monitoring disease trends and vaccination coverage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze measles incidence and trends in Europe during 2001-2002.
  • To identify key demographic groups affected by measles.
  • To assess the impact of vaccination status on measles cases.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of measles case data reported to EUVAC.NET.
  • Calculation of crude incidence rates per 100,000 population.
  • Analysis of case demographics, outbreak association, import status, complications, and vaccination status.

Main Results:

  • A 41% increase in measles cases was observed between 2001 and 2002 (17,928 total cases).
  • The highest incidence was among children aged 1-9 years.
  • The proportion of unvaccinated measles cases rose from 50% in 2001 to 66% in 2002, with known vaccination status increasing from 56% to 72%.

Conclusions:

  • Measles incidence significantly increased in Europe during 2001-2002, with a notable rise in unvaccinated individuals.
  • Outbreaks constituted a substantial proportion of reported cases.
  • The findings underscore the need for enhanced measles surveillance and vaccination efforts to control the disease.
