10 Acute febrile rash illness Description of Measles RNA virus with 1 serotype, classified as a member of the genus Morbillivirus The only natural hosts are humans Transmitted by direct contact with infectious droplets or airborne spread Most contagious of the vaccine preventable diseases

11 Clinical Presentation Prodromal symptoms of mild to moderate fever, sore throat, & 3 C s : Cough, Coryza, and/or Conjunctivitis Tiny white spots (Koplik s spots) may appear in the mouth Rash ~10-14 days after exposure (range 7-21 days) Fever may spike when rash appears (up to 105 o F)

12 Measles Rash Erythematous maculopapular eruption that spreads from head to trunk to extremities with initial blanching Fades in order of appearance

13 Measles Complications & Deaths Diarrhea 8% Otitis media 7-9% Pneumonia 1-6% Encephalitis Death Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE) 1-2 per 1,000 cases 1-3 per 1,000 cases (2-15% in developing countries) 1 per 100,000 cases 7-10 years after measles

14 Global Burden of Measles Cases ~20 million cases/year 77% decrease in reported incidence from 2000 to 2012 Deaths Pre-vaccine era: 5-8 million deaths/year 78% decrease in deaths from (90% decrease since 1985) 122,000 deaths in 2012 (~14 deaths/hour) Remains a leading cause of vaccine preventable deaths in children <5 years of age

15 U.S. Annual Disease Burden in the Pre-Vaccine Era 3-4 million estimated cases (~500,000 reported cases) 48,000 hospitalizations 4,000 encephalitis cases deaths

16 Licensed in 1963 in the U.S. Measles Vaccine Combination measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine licensed in 1971 Vaccine Effectiveness: 1-dose: ~93% 2-doses: ~97% Excellent safety profile over past 50 years Low risk of febrile seizures in children aged months (1 in 3000 doses) Temporary pain/stiffness in joints (teenage or adult women) Temporary low platelet count (1 in 30,000 doses)

26 Keys to Measles Prevention, Diagnosis, & Response Vaccine Vaccine recommendations Vaccine coverage rates Diagnostics Differential diagnosis History & Physical exam Lab testing Case Response Report suspect cases Begin contact investigations Establish who has presumptive evidence of immunity Isolation and quarantine Post-exposure prophylaxis CDC guidance available at:

27 Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) Vaccine Recommendations for Measles Routine recommendations (children): 1st dose: children aged mos 2 nd dose: children aged 4-6 yrs (but can be given up to 28 days after the 1 st dose) Routine recommendations (adults) Non-high risk adults born in 1957 or later: 1 dose (unless they have other evidence of immunity) High-risk adults (i.e., students at post-high school educational institutions, international travelers, and healthcare personnel) born in 1957 or later: 2 doses (unless they have other evidence of immunity) 2013 ACIP Recommendations at:

28 International Travel Recommendations for Measles Vaccine Persons aged 12 months should receive 2 doses* Includes providing a 2 nd dose to children prior to age 4-6 yrs Includes adults born during or after 1957 who have only received one routine dose in the past Children aged 6-11 months should receive 1 dose (Will still need 2 subsequent doses at age 12 months) * 2nd dose of MMR should be administered at least 28 days after the 1 st dose

29 MMR Vaccination Coverage National Immunization Survey, U.S. MMR 1+ (19-35 mo) MMR 2+ (13-17 yr) 90 Coverage (%) 0 NIS data available at :

30 Diagnosing Measles Many U.S. healthcare providers have never seen a case of measles Consider measles in differential diagnosis (e.g., Kawasaki s, Dengue) of febrile, rash illness particularly for patients: Recent travel history or exposure to recent travelers Unvaccinated Lab testing Serology for IgM Viral specimen (nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, or nasal swab) for PCR (and genotyping)

31 Public Health Response (for confirmed and suspect cases) Respiratory isolation of case-patients Infectious period 4 days prior through 4 days after date of rash onset Report to Health Department Immediately notifiable to CDC (within 24 hours) Contact CDC Quarantine Station if relevant travel Enhanced Surveillance Contact investigation

32 Contact Investigation for Exposure to Measles Persons exposed during patient s infectious period Includes exposure to area 2 hours after infectious person left Establish presumptive evidence of immunity for contacts Quarantine contacts without presumptive evidence of immunity (through 21 days after exposure) Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) Vaccine or Immune globulin (IG)

33 Post-exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) MMR Vaccine Administer within 72 hours of exposure May return to regular activities (except health care settings) Still monitor for symptoms Can be given to children as young as 6 months of age Be aware of possibility of vaccine rash If outside the 72 hour window for PEP, vaccine should still be administered to prevent infection from future exposures

34 Post-exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) Immune Globulin Administer within 6 days of exposure Recommended Dose Intramuscular (IGIM): 0.5 ml/kg (max = 15 ml) Intravenous (IGIV): 400 mg/kg Recommended for the following groups (risk of severe disease and complications) Infants aged <12 months (IGIM) Pregnant women without evidence of immunity (IGIV) Severely immunocompromised patients (IGIV)

35 Keys to Maintaining Elimination in the U.S. High 2-dose MMR vaccine coverage High quality surveillance Rapid identification of and response to measles cases Report within 24 hours per Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) guidelines Rapid and aggressive outbreak control measures Information sharing tools (Epi-X, HAN)

36 Challenges in the Elimination Era Aggressive public health response (i.e., contact tracing, vaccination clinics) is resource intensive Continued global threat because of importations Highly contagious Today, in the relative absence of disease, public attention is focused on perceived vaccine adverse advents Clustering, accumulation, and aging of susceptibles

37 Keep Sight of the Successes Outbreaks are limited (size & number of generations) High overall vaccine coverage Rapid/aggressive public health response to suspect cases Elimination achieved & maintained for 14 years The vaccine works and the disease is recognizable Eradication possible & achievable
