我们报告意大利正在爆发麻疹疫情，2017 年 1 月至 8 月，20 个地区报告了 4,400 多例麻疹病例。中位年龄为 27 岁，88% 的病例未接种疫苗。发病率最高的是一岁以下的婴儿，7% 的病例发生在医护人员中。发生三人死亡，报告两例脑炎病例。巨大的免疫差距和医院传播是意大利消除麻疹的主要挑战。
We report an ongoing measles outbreak in Italy, with over 4,400 cases reported in 20 Regions from January to August 2017. Median age was 27 years, 88% of the cases were unvaccinated. The highest incidence was in infants below one year of age and 7% of cases occurred among healthcare workers. Three deaths occurred and two cases of encephalitis were reported. Wide immunity gaps and nosocomial transmission are major challenges to measles elimination in Italy.
