Since the beginning of 2014, the Republic of Korea has experienced a resurgence of measles cases. Among the 220 cases confirmed as measles during epidemiological weeks 1-20 (December 29, 2013 to May 17, 2014), 10 imported cases were identified. The predominant genotype was B3, which reflects the circulating measles virus in adjacent countries. Even with the verification of measles elimination in March 2014 by the World Health Organization, recent importation has been related to international travel. Targeted control measures have been implemented in addition to proper isolation and patient care. A vigilant surveillance system and high levels of vaccine coverage should be maintained to sustain the measles elimination status.
自 2014 年初以来,韩国出现了麻疹疫情的反弹。在流行病学第 1 周至第 20 周(2013 年 12 月 29 日至 2014 年 5 月 17 日)期间确诊的 220 例麻疹病例中,有 10 例为输入性病例。主要基因型为 B3,这反映了周边国家流行的麻疹病毒。尽管世界卫生组织在 2014 年 3 月已确认消除麻疹,但最近的输入性病例与国际旅行有关。除了适当的隔离和病人护理外,还实施了有针对性的控制措施。应保持警惕的监测系统和高水平的疫苗覆盖率,以维持消除麻疹的状态。
