目的分析忻州市2008年麻疹流行特征,为制定麻疹防控措施提供依据。方法利用描述流行病学分析方法,对2008年忻州市法定传染病报告系统麻疹疫情资料进行分析。结果忻州市2005年麻疹发病率9.37/10万,在当年全市强化免疫后,2006、2007年麻疹发病率维持在5/10万以下,2008年报告发病率为8.57/10万。发病以<15岁儿童为主,占总病例数的81.32%,所占比例较2007年(77.70%)升高,其中<8月和7～14岁组有所上升,8～11月和1～6岁组有所下降。结论在麻疹减毒活疫苗(Measles vaccine;MV)强化免疫后应切实提高常规免疫接种率,同时应提高MV 1剂及时接种率。提高易感人群MV免疫覆盖率,降低人群易感性是控制麻疹的首要措施,加强麻疹监测,适时开展高质量的MV强化免疫,管理传染源,切断传播途径是控制、消除麻疹的根本措施。 Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of measles in 2008 in Xinzhou City and provide the basis for making measles prevention and control measures.
