Abstract
The current re-emergence of measles is a serious worldwide public health problem, favored by the decrease in vaccine coverage. Romania is noted for the highest number of illnesses and deaths in the European Union. The study analyzes the clinical-epidemiological characteristics of measles cases hospitalized in a county in south-eastern Romania, where the vaccine coverage with 2 doses of anti-measles vaccine is of 79.6%. We analyzed a number of 221 hospitalized cases confirmed with measles, according to the case definition, characterized by the predominance in unvaccinated infants, from the urban area, frequently diagnosed after the 4th day of illness, most of them with complicated forms of measles.
