Two Cases of Vaccine-Associated Measles in Daegu, South Korea, 2019
Korea was verified as a measles-free country by the World Health Organization in 2014; however, some imported measles cases and related outbreaks were reported. As the incidence of wild-type measles decreases in measles-free countries, the proportion of vaccine-associated measles is increasing. Wild-type measles is highly contagious and requires follow-up and management of the contacts, whereas vaccine-related measles is not contagious and does not require follow-up intervention. Therefore, measles genotyping should be performed to reliably distinguish between them in suspected patients. Two patients with vaccine-associated measles were confirmed through genotyping at Daegu Fatima Hospital. In Korea, there are only a few reports of vaccine-associated measles confirmed through genotyping; thus, we report recent vaccine-associated measles cases, emphasizing the need for genotyping.
期刊介绍:
Pediatric Infection and Vaccine is an official publication of the Korean Society of Pediatric Infectious Diseases and a peer-reviewed, open-access, multidisciplinary journal directed to physicians and other health care professionals who manage infectious diseases of childhood. The editorial board calls for the articles that originate from worldwide research or clinical study groups and the publication is determined by the editors and reviewers who are the experts in the specific field of infectious diseases of childhood.
