Abstract

Measles has been eliminated in NSW for more than a decade; however outbreaks associated with international travel do occur. This EpiReview describes the epidemiology of measles in NSW from 2002-2011. A total of 281 cases of measles were notified during the period, an average annual notification rate of 0.41 notifications per 100 000 population (range: 0.06-1.25). There were 139 hospitalisations recorded with a measles diagnosis in the 10-year reporting period, corresponding to a rate of 0.20 hospitalisations per 100 000 population. Of the 80 measles virus specimens genotyped, five genotypes were identified: D9 (38%), D8 (24%), D4 (16%), D5 (14%) with H1 identified less frequently (9%). No single genotype was associated with local transmission across successive years. To sustain good measles control, children should be vaccinated against measles on time through routine childhood immunisation, and all young adults who travel internationally should be vaccinated. Clinician awareness remains important in the early identification and control of measles to avoid further transmission during outbreaks and to enable the timely implementation of public health measures.

EpiReview: 2002-2011年新南威尔士州麻疹。
麻疹在新南威尔士州已经消灭了十多年;然而,与国际旅行有关的疫情确实会发生。这篇EpiReview描述了2002-2011年新南威尔士州麻疹的流行病学。在此期间,共通报了281例麻疹病例,平均每年通报率为每10万人0.41例(范围:0.06-1.25)。在本报告所述的10年期间,有139人因麻疹诊断而住院,相当于每10万人中有0.20人住院。在80份麻疹病毒标本中,鉴定出5种基因型:D9(38%)、D8(24%)、D4(16%)、D5(14%),其中H1基因型较少(9%)。没有单一基因型与连续数年的本地传播相关。为了保持良好的麻疹控制,应通过常规儿童免疫及时为儿童接种麻疹疫苗,并应为所有出国旅行的年轻人接种疫苗。临床医生的认识对于早期发现和控制麻疹,以避免在疫情期间进一步传播和及时实施公共卫生措施仍然很重要。
