We searched the Victorian Inpatient Minimum Dataset (VIMD) for the period 1 January 1997 to 30 June 1998 to identify patients with ICD-9 discharge codes for measles (055). The data were compared with that held in the Victorian measles surveillance dataset. The hospital case notes of patients identified in the VIMD but not in the measles surveillance dataset were reviewed systematically to determine whether the patients met case definitions for laboratory-confirmed or clinically compatible measles. Sixteen admissions (15 patients) were identified with a measles ICD-9 code. Eight patients were not identified in the measles surveillance dataset. Of these, one was a laboratory confirmed case of measles and two met a clinical case definition but all should have been notified to the Department of Human Services as suspected cases. While the small number of missed notifications is encouraging in terms of overall measles surveillance, it highlights important deficiencies in the awareness of hospital staff of their role in the control of measles, particularly as Australia moves towards the elimination of measles.","PeriodicalId":520897,"journal":{"name":"Communicable diseases intelligence quarterly report","volume":"25 3","pages":"137-40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144319248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To provide a national picture of immunity in adults, we tested 2126 sera from 19-49 year olds that had been opportunistically collected from laboratories across Australia, between July 1996 and November 1998. Sera were stratified into age groups based on expected levels of immunity. Sample numbers were proportional to the population size in each State and Territory. Immunity was determined using an anti-measles IgG enzyme immunoassay (EIA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Results were compared with those on sera from 2 groups of 1-18 year olds; one group collected before the Measles Control Campaign (conducted in the second half of 1998) and the other group collected after the Campaign. Immunity was highest (98.3%) in subjects aged at least 30 years (born before 1968) reflecting greater exposure to the measles virus in these older subjects. Immunity was lowest in those aged 1-6 years (born in 1994-8; 83.6%) and 18-22 years (born in 1974-80; 88.9%). The relatively low level of immunity in 18-22 year olds is probably due to lower vaccination coverage in this group compared with younger cohorts (aged 6-17 years). These results indicate the ongoing need to improve vaccine uptake in infants and suggest that a vaccination campaign targeting young adults would be beneficial.","PeriodicalId":520897,"journal":{"name":"Communicable diseases intelligence quarterly report","volume":"25 3","pages":"133-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144319247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
