Measles • Measles is still common in many parts of the world including
some countries in Europe, Asia, the Pacific, and Africa.– Over 41,000 measles cases in Europe in the first 6 months
of 2018• The majority of measles cases are unvaccinated.• Anyone who is not immune is at risk of getting infected when
they travel internationally.• International travelers continue to bring measles into the U.S.• Although measles is no longer endemic in the U.S. we still see
measles cases due to international travel/visitors • Measles can spread when it reaches a community in the U.S.
where groups of people are unvaccinated.

Secondary Cases of Measles• Several secondary cases had two documented doses of MMR• Secondary immune response
o Clinical presentation: milder prodrome and milder symptoms
o Viral specimens for PCR Nasopharyngeal swab was negative Urine was positive
o Less contagious• Although vaccination did not prevent disease in these cases it
did modify the illness

Measles Vaccination• MMR vaccine is the best protection against measles • Ensure all of your adult patients have documented
immunity to measles– At least one documented dose; If in doubt vaccinate
• Ensure that international travelers are vaccinated– Two documented doses recommended
• All healthcare providers should be immune to measles
November 19, 2018 48
Measles Takeaway Messages• Measles cases have a significant public health impact• Recognize disease:
– Fever, rash, cough, coryza, conjunctivitis– Ask about a history of travel or contact with international travelers
and vaccination status• Suspect measles? Report immediately to your LHD• Appropriate testing should be done• Take appropriate steps to prevent the spread of measles
– If sending a suspect case to health care facility call ahead– Virus remains in air for up to 2 hours– Airborne infection control
