Paul A. Gastañaduy, MD, Susan B. Redd, Amy Parker Fiebelkorn, MSN, et al.
MMWR 2014;63:1–4.
Measles is a highly contagious, acute viral illness that can lead to serious complications and death. Although measles elimination was declared in the United States in 2000, importations of measles cases from endemic areas of the world continue to occur, leading to secondary measles cases and outbreaks in the United States, primarily among unvaccinated persons. To update national measles data in the United States, CDC evaluated cases reported by states from January 1 through May 23, 2014. A total of 288 confirmed measles cases have been reported to CDC, surpassing the highest reported yearly total of measles cases since elimination. |
