Abstract

Contact tracing of individual exposed to any infectious measles case deserves special attention when in the country the disease is mostly imported. We present the coordinated public health actions triggered after reporting a suspected measles case in an aircraft. Spanish public health authorities and airlines responded promptly to allow a rapid contact tracing. Even one secondary measles case was reported no further transmission was identified, revealing that giving PEP and appropriate information help to avoid transmission and to maintain measles elimination in Spain.

西班牙，国际航班上发现麻疹病例后的公共卫生协调行动：2022 年 12 月至 2023 年 1 月。

当麻疹在国内主要是通过输入传播时，对接触过任何传染性麻疹病例的个人进行接触追踪值得特别关注。我们介绍了在报告飞机上出现麻疹疑似病例后所采取的公共卫生协调行动。西班牙公共卫生当局和航空公司迅速做出反应，对接触者进行了快速追踪。即使报告了一例继发性麻疹病例，也没有发现进一步的传播，这表明提供预防性治疗和适当的信息有助于避免传播并保持在西班牙消灭麻疹。
