Contact tracing of individual exposed to any infectious measles case deserves special attention when in the country the disease is mostly imported. We present the coordinated public health actions triggered after reporting a suspected measles case in an aircraft. Spanish public health authorities and airlines responded promptly to allow a rapid contact tracing. Even one secondary measles case was reported no further transmission was identified, revealing that giving PEP and appropriate information help to avoid transmission and to maintain measles elimination in Spain.
当一个国家的疾病主要是输入性的时,接触追踪那些接触过任何传染病麻疹病例的人应该得到特别关注。我们报告了一起疑似麻疹病例在飞机上的协调公共卫生行动。西班牙公共卫生当局和航空公司迅速作出反应,以便进行快速的接触追踪。即使报告了一例继发麻疹病例,也没有发现进一步的传播,这表明给予 PEP 和适当的信息有助于避免传播,并保持西班牙消除麻疹。
