In May 2017 a patient attended the emergency department at a hospital in England, with a presumed allergic reaction. He was subsequently diagnosed with measles. There were seven further confirmed cases, five of whom had received two doses of MMR vaccine. This outbreak highlights the importance of not relying on vaccination status to rule out the diagnosis of measles. Epidemiological investigations of this outbreak were particularly challenging due to the highly infectious nature of the measles virus, and prevented full elucidation of either the source of this outbreak or the transmission pathways.
2017年5月，一名患者前往英国一家医院的急诊科就诊，疑似过敏反应。随后他被诊断出患有麻疹。又有7例确诊病例，其中5人已接种两剂麻疹、腮腺炎和风疹（MMR）疫苗。此次疫情凸显了不能仅依靠疫苗接种情况来排除麻疹诊断的重要性。由于麻疹病毒具有高度传染性，此次疫情的流行病学调查极具挑战性，阻碍了对疫情源头或传播途径的全面查明。
