Abstract

[Objective] To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of measles in Changzhou city from 2004 to 2009, and develop efficient strategies to measles control and prevention. [Methods] Descriptive epidemiological analysis was conducted to analyze epidemic data of measles and the monitoring data of measles collected from 2004 to 2009. [Results] Higher incidence rates were found in most developed areas. Seasonal distribution of measles was very noticeable with 64.92%of all the cases between March to May. The age groups with high incidence were 0-15 years old and ﹥20 years old which accounted for 66.36% and 26.39% respectively in all measles cases.The cases in floating population covered 54.5% in all cases. [Conclusion] In the developed cities, most of the measles cases are migrant working population.We must further strengthen the measles vaccine immunization and immune response. Measles vaccination is recommended to all reproductive women.
