刚果民主共和国的麻疹疫情：2010-2011 年加丹加省的疫情描述。

BACKGROUND

The Democratic Republic of Congo experiences regular measles outbreaks. From September 2010, the number of suspected measles cases increased, especially in Katanga province, where Medecins sans Frontieres supported the Ministry of Health in responding to the outbreak by providing free treatment, reinforcing surveillance and implementing non-selective mass vaccination campaigns. Here, we describe the measles outbreak in Katanga province in 2010-2011 and the results of vaccine coverage surveys conducted after the mass campaigns.

METHODS

The surveillance system was strengthened in 28 of the 67 health zones of the province and we conducted seven vaccination coverage surveys in 2011.

RESULTS

The overall cumulative attack rate was 0.71% and the case fatality ratio was 1.40%.

CONCLUSIONS

Early investigation of the age distribution of cases is a key to understanding the epidemic, and should guide the vaccination of priority age groups.
