Abstract:
A total of 1 159 measles cases were reported in Zhuhai City from 2005 to 2022, with an average annual incidence rate of 4.21/10 5 (0-30.51/10 5). The M( Q1, Q3) age of the cases was 6.10 years old (10 months,23.20 years old), with the youngest cases being 2 months and the oldest age of 55 years old. The distribution of cases by age group was as follows: individuals aged18 years and older (34.94%), 8-23 months (22.95%), 2-6 years old (16.74%), 7-17 years old(12.86%) and infants under 8 months (12.51%), respectively. The primary groups affected by the disease included scattered children, workers, and students. The regional distribution exhibited distinct clustering characteristics in urban areas or streets with a high concentration of the migrant population. Following the initiation of Measles-containing Vaccine Supplementary Immunization Activities (MCV SIA) in 2009, the incidence of measles in Zhuhai City has significantly decreased, and there is no evident seasonal distribution of cases.
