MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 1997 Dec 12;46(49):1159-63.
During December 1, 1996-September 30, 1997, a total of 20,034 cases of measles (incidence: 88.7 per 100,000 population) were reported to the Ministry of Health (MOH) in Romania (Figure 1); 13 cases were fatal. The outbreak began in December 1996, peaked in May 1997, then declined. Cases occurred in the capital (Bucharest) and all 40 other districts (1996 total population: 22.6 million). District-specific attack rates were highest in the northwest and lower in the south, ranging from 10 to 258 cases per 100,000 population. This report describes the investigation of this epidemic by MOH and estimates the efficacy of measles vaccine using the screening method; the findings of the investigation suggest that high routine vaccination coverage with a single dose of measles vaccine with an estimated efficacy of 77%-90% was not sufficient to prevent periodic outbreaks of measles.
1996年12月1日至1997年9月30日期间，罗马尼亚共向卫生部报告了20,034例麻疹病例（发病率：每10万人中88.7例）（图1）；13例死亡。疫情于1996年12月开始，1997年5月达到高峰，随后下降。病例发生在首都（布加勒斯特）和其他40个区（1996年总人口：2260万）。特定区的发病率在西北部最高，在南部较低，每10万人中发病数从10例至258例不等。本报告描述了卫生部对此次疫情的调查，并采用筛查方法估计了麻疹疫苗的效力；调查结果表明，单剂麻疹疫苗常规接种覆盖率较高，估计效力为77%-90%，但仍不足以预防麻疹的周期性暴发。
