Role of schools in the transmission of measles in rural Senegal: implications for measles control in developing countries. (1/862)

Patterns of measles transmission at school and at home were studied in 1995 in a rural area of Senegal with a high level of vaccination coverage. Among 209 case children with a median age of 8 years, there were no deaths, although the case fatality ratio has previously been 6-7% in this area. Forty percent of the case children had been vaccinated against measles; the proportion of vaccinated children was higher among secondary cases (47%) than among index cases (33%) (prevalence ratio = 1.36, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.04-1.76). Vaccinated index cases may have been less infectious than unvaccinated index cases, since they produced fewer clinical cases among exposed children (relative risk = 0.55, 95% CI 0.29-1.04). The secondary attack rate was lower in the schools than in the homes (relative risk = 0.31, 95% CI 0.20-0.49). The school outbreaks were protracted, with 4-5 generations of cases being seen in the two larger schools. Vaccine efficacy was found to be 57% (95% CI -23 to 85) in the schools and 74% (95% CI 62-82) in the residential compounds. Measles infection resulted in a mean of 3.8 days of absenteeism per case, though this did not appear to have an impact on the children's grades. Among the index cases, 56% of children were probably infected by neighbors in the community, and 7% were probably infected at health centers, 13% outside the community, and 24% in one of the three schools which had outbreaks during the epidemic. However, most of the school-related cases occurred at the beginning and therefore contributed to the general propagation of the epidemic. To prevent school outbreaks, it may be necessary to require vaccination prior to school entry and to revaccinate children in individual schools upon detection of cases of measles. Multidose measles vaccination schedules will be necessary to control measles in developing countries. (+info)

Seroepidemiological evaluation of 1989-91 mass vaccination campaigns against measles, in Italy. (4/862)

In 1989-91 anti-measles vaccination campaigns were conducted in several Italian regions to vaccinate all children aged between 13 months and 10-12 years without a history of measles or measles vaccination. This study was conducted to evaluate serological status after the mass vaccination campaigns. In 1994, capillary blood samples were collected from randomly selected children, aged 2-14 years, living in 13 local health units. Antibody titres were determined by ELISA. Blood spot samples were analysed for 4114 (75.6%) of 5440 selected children. Among the 835 that reported measles before 1990, 806 (96.5%) were immune and of the 2798 vaccinated, 2665 (95.2%) were immune. The Edmoston-Zagreb (E-Z) strain vaccine was associated with a lower level of immunity than the Schwarz (SW) strain. A history of measles identified almost all immune children. Vaccination with the SW strain conferred persistent immunity (at least 5 years) in 98% of vaccinees. The strategy was able to unite natural and induced immunity. (+info)

Measles eradication: experience in the Americas. (5/862)

In 1994, the Ministers of Health from the Region of the Americas targeted measles for eradication from the Western Hemisphere by the year 2000. To achieve this goal, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) developed an enhanced measles eradication strategy. First, a one-time-only "catch-up" measles vaccination campaign is conducted among children aged 9 months to 14 years. Efforts are then made to vaccinate through routine health services ("keep-up") at least 95% of each newborn cohort at 12 months of age. Finally, to assure high population immunity among preschool-aged children, indiscriminate "follow-up" measles vaccination campaigns are conducted approximately every 4 years. These vaccination activities are accompanied by improvements in measles surveillance, including the laboratory testing of suspected measles cases. The implementation of the PAHO strategy has resulted in a marked reduction in measles incidence in all countries of the Americas. Indeed, in 1996 the all-time regional record low of 2109 measles cases was reported. There was a relative resurgence of measles in 1997 with over 20,000 cases, due to a large measles outbreak among infants, preschool-aged children and young adults in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Contributing factors for this outbreak included: low routine infant vaccination coverage, failure to conduct a "follow-up" campaign, presence of susceptible young adults, and the importation of measles virus, apparently from Europe. PAHO's strategy has been effective in interrupting measles virus circulation. This experience demonstrates that global measles eradication is an achievable goal using currently available measles vaccines. (+info)

Timing of development of measles-specific immunoglobulin M and G after primary measles vaccination. (6/862)

A standard method for diagnosing measles is to detect measles-specific immunoglobulin M (IgM) in the serum of infected persons. Interpreting a positive IgM result from a person with suspected measles can be difficult if the person has recently received a measles vaccine. We have previously demonstrated that measles-specific IgM may persist for at least 8 weeks after primary vaccination, but it is unknown how quickly IgM appears. This study determined the timing of the rise of measles-specific IgM and IgG after primary measles vaccination with Schwartz vaccine. Two hundred eighty 9-month-old children from Ethiopia presenting for routine measles vaccination were enrolled. Sera were collected before and either 1, 2, 3, or 4 weeks after vaccination and tested for measles-specific antibodies by an IgM capture enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and by an indirect IgG EIA. A total of 209 of the 224 children who returned for the second visit had prevaccination sera that were both IgM and IgG negative. The postvaccination IgM positivity rates for these 209 children were 2% at 1 week, 61% at 2 weeks, 79% at 3 weeks, and 60% at 4 weeks. The postvaccination IgG positivity rates were 0% at 1 week, 14% at 2 weeks, 81% at 3 weeks, and 85% at 4 weeks. We conclude that an IgM-positive result obtained by this antibody capture EIA is difficult to interpret if serum is collected between 8 days and 8 weeks after vaccination; in this situation, the diagnosis of measles should be based on an epidemiologic linkage to a confirmed case or on the detection of wild-type measles virus.

Measles: effect of a two-dose vaccination programme in Catalonia, Spain. (7/862)

The study reports incidences of measles in Catalonia, Spain, as detected by surveillance, and analyses the specific characteristics of the outbreaks reported for the period 1986-95. Incidences per 100,000 inhabitants were calculated for the period 1971-95. The following variables were studied: year of presentation, number of cases, median age, transmission setting, cases with a record of vaccination and preventable cases. Associations between variables were determined using odds ratios (OR). The incidence of measles declined from 306.3 cases in 1971 to 30.9 in 1995. A total of 50 outbreaks were investigated. The outbreaks that occurred in the last two years of the study had a higher likelihood of having a transmission setting other than primary school (OR = 3.9); a median case age > 10 years (OR = 7.2); and fewer than 6 cases (OR = 2.3). The characteristics of recent outbreaks, marked by a rise both in transmission outside the primary-school setting and in median age, indicate the need for the introduction of a specific vaccination programme at the end of adolescence in addition to control of school-related outbreaks.

Seroconversions in unvaccinated infants: further evidence for subclinical measles from vaccine trials in Niakhar, Senegal. (8/862)

BACKGROUND: Increases in measles antibodies without rash-illnesses have been documented in previously vaccinated children exposed to measles cases. The phenomenon has been incompletely evaluated in young unvaccinated infants with immunity of maternal origin. METHODS: Monthly cohorts of newborns were prospectively randomized to vaccine and placebo control groups during a trial of high-titre vaccines in Niakhar, Senegal. Measles antibodies were assayed in blood samples of enrolled children collected at 5 months old, when controls received a placebo injection, and at 10 months, when the placebo group was given measles vaccine. Intensive prospective surveillance for measles was conducted throughout the trial. RESULTS: One-fifth (n = 53) of the placebo controls seroconverted, with known exposure to a measles case in only three of them. None of the seroconverters developed a measles-like rash. Sixteen-fold or greater increases in titres were noted in about one-quarter of them. Compared with placebo controls who did not seroconvert, seroconverters were more likely to have had exposure to a measles case and to travel, more likely to be boys than girls, and had significantly lower baseline antibody titres. Measles was endemic in the study area throughout the trial. Seroconversions did not adversely effect subsequent nutritional indices or mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Although laboratory errors and inadvertent injection of vaccine rather than placebo may have played some role, they do not fully explain the above observations, which are consistent with subclinical measles in the seroconverters. The possible role of subclinical measles in occult transmission, its potential effect on the type and duration of subsequent immunity, and its impact on response to primary vaccination need to be determined.

Sept. 3, 2008 -- Can the measles vaccine cause autism? (webmd.com)
The idea was that the measles virus from the live-virus measles vaccine lurks in the gut of some young children, causing bowel disease and making them more susceptible to environmental factors that might cause autism . (webmd.com)
Lipkin was quick to add that the current study focuses only on theories that the MMR vaccine causes autism. (webmd.com)
It does not address other vaccine -autism theories, such as the fear that the mercury-containing preservative thimerosal might cause autism . (webmd.com)
This really closes the scientific inquiry into whether measles or MMR vaccination causes autism," Schaffner tells WebMD. (webmd.com)
That earlier 1998 study by U.K. researcher Andrew Wakefield and colleagues first put forward the theory that measles viruses lurking in the gut might cause autism . (webmd.com)
A 2002 study purportedly found measles-vaccine virus in the intestines of kids with autism and bowel disease -- but not in developmentally normal kids. (webmd.com)
Moreover, only five of the 25 kids with autism got their MMR vaccine before getting bowel disease and autism. (webmd.com)
But Bernard says the Lipkin study does not close the book on the theory that MMR vaccine might trigger autism. (webmd.com)
Over the years, some have suggested that the MMR vaccine is linked to autism spectrum disorder. (webmd.com)
Many parents who don't get their kids vaccinated worry that the shots - particularly the one for measles, mumps and rubella - cause autism, though no scientific link has been found. (npr.org)
Many parents who refuse to get their children vaccinated worry that vaccines - and the one for measles, mumps and rubella in particular - cause autism. (npr.org)
Vaccines cause autism. (forbes.com)
The preservative thimerosal in vaccines causes autism. (forbes.com)
The wave began with a 1998 paper published in The Lancet by Andrew Wakefield, claiming that the MMR vaccine was linked to autism. (forbes.com)
(CNN) -- The Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine causes neither autism nor gastrointestinal disorders, a study reported Wednesday, disputing a theory that has persisted for a decade. (cnn.com)
A researcher had theorized that the measles vaccine caused gastrointestinal problems that he linked to autism. (cnn.com)
The theory was created in 1998, when British researcher Andrew Wakefield published studies that suggested the measles vaccine caused gastrointestinal problems and that those GI problems led to autism. (cnn.com)
In Wednesday's study, the researchers replicated key parts of Wakefield's original study to determine whether the vaccine causes autism and GI problems, said Mady Hornig, a study co-author. (cnn.com)
O'Leary and the other researchers looked for evidence of the measles vaccine in children's intestines after they had been vaccinated and sought to determine whether their GI problems and autism symptoms occurred before or after they were vaccinated. (cnn.com)
The conclusion: 'no evidence' linked the vaccine to either autism or GI disorders, Lipkin said. (cnn.com)
They also said they found no relationship between the timing of the vaccine and children getting GI disorders or autism. (cnn.com)
The new study shows 'there's no temporal relationship between the vaccines and the gastrointestinal disorders and autism. (cnn.com)
But the Autism Society of America cautioned that the cause of autism is complex and more research is needed to fully understand the role, if any, of the vaccine. (cnn.com)
This new study does nothing to resolve the controversy whether MMR vaccine has contributed to the autism epidemic,' said a press release from the group. (cnn.com)
Wendy Fournier, an NAA spokeswoman, told CNN Thursday that the new study raises more questions than answers and should have looked at more children who developed autism and GI problems after they received the vaccine. (cnn.com)
Some parents, familiar with the Wakefield theory's putative link between vaccine and autism, have chosen not to vaccinate their children. (cnn.com)
A lot of people unfortunately have incorrect information about the measles vaccine, because past research articles have implicated it as a cause of autism," Lee said. (ibtimes.com)
It found that the vaccine did not increase the risk of autism in children who were not considered at risk for the disorder and did not trigger it in those who were. (ajc.com)
Parents should not skip the vaccine out of fear for autism," said the study's lead author, Dr. Anders Hviid of Denmark's Statens Serum Institut, NBC News reported . (ajc.com)
Measles cases are on the rise globally, including in wealthy nations such as the United States and Germany, where some parents shun life-saving vaccines due to false theories suggesting links between childhood immunizations and autism. (reuters.com)
A small but vocal group of activists - who peddle the long-discredited link between the vaccine and autism, along with other falsehoods - have helped thwart this. (startribune.com)
A new study has revealed a ground-breaking revelation that there is no link between autism and the MMR vaccine. (news.com.au)
The CDC material also explained that while many parents worry that the vaccine causes autism , many studies have shown there is no such association. (medicalnewstoday.com)
In many cases, there's misinformation about a link between the MMR vaccine and autism, despite research that has examined this issue and has found no connection, Fauci said. (medscape.com)
By 2004, for example, what was then called the Institute of Medicine (IOM) concluded that there was no evidence of a connection between the MMR vaccine and autism. (medscape.com)
It also reviewed work that sought to identify potential biologic mechanisms by which the MMR vaccine might cause autism. (medscape.com)
But a link between autism and the MMR vaccine had already taken root in the minds of many people in America and around the world. (medscape.com)
Wakefield was a British physician whose widely reported 1998 Lancet article on a link between the vaccine and autism was retracted in 2010. (medscape.com)
The American Academy of Pediatrics says extensive reports from several leading researchers have found no "proven association" between autism and measles vaccines. (washingtonpost.com)
In that case, a court awarded Poling a still-undetermined amount of money from a federal vaccine injury fund, finding that vaccines aggravated a rare underlying metabolic condition that resulted in a brain disorder "with features of autism spectrum disorder," The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. (washingtonpost.com)
Despite countless studies showing that vaccines are safe (and in particular, that vaccines do not cause autism), these rumors persist, amplified greatly by the anti-vaccine movement, which seems impervious to evidence or reason. (forbes.com)
Meanwhile, anti-vaccine groups such as Age of Autism are fighting to keep or even expand these exemptions . (forbes.com)
Instead they persecute their heretics/whistleblowers such as Dr Wakefield , Lisa Blakemore-Brown & Dr Jane Donegan (in a nasty attempt to suppress the truth on MMR and vaccine autism), & Dr Waney Squier , ( Shaken Baby Syndrome ), as well as taking away legal funding for the victims. (whale.to)

No link has been found between the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine, and autism in largest, single study to date. (healthline.com)
The authors, all members of the Statens Serum Institut, an institution similar to the CDC in the United States, followed a cohort of 657,461 Danish children born between 1999 and 2010 for a decade to see if receiving the MMR vaccine had a significant impact on a child developing autism or symptoms of autism spectrum disorder. (healthline.com)
No increased risk of autism was observed when comparing children who had received the MMR vaccine and those that did not. (healthline.com)
Their findings were the same then as they are now: There is no discernible increase in risk of autism from the MMR vaccine. (healthline.com)
By far the most predominant driver of the anti-vaccination movement is the link between autism and vaccines - a link that has repeatedly been dismissed. (healthline.com)

before vaccination , so there isn't any any evidence vaccination played any part in deaths decline (they use incidence stats to hide that fact) , while parents are spun the lie that vaccination was the only factor in the decline and therefore the only defence, while Allopathy hypes the dangers of measles . (whale.to)
MMR vaccine is obviously killing more kids now than measles would be doing , with or without the va ccine ( see ) , as FOIA shows in 1990 , in the UK , there were approximately 70 deaths associated with triple vaccines (DTP and MMR) , the UK Gov' has paid out for MMR deaths, and one media report mentioned 26 deaths .

And what we found is that the government of India's national measles campaign avoided something like 50,000 deaths over a three year period. (thenakedscientists.com)
So this study very clearly answers that question, that special efforts to eliminate measles deaths work where measles deaths remain common. (thenakedscientists.com)
But the big picture globally is of deaths from measles in places where it remains common, such as in India or parts of Africa. (thenakedscientists.com)
Prabhat - The significance is that in around 2009, the government of India launched a special campaign to try to reduce measles deaths, in the states of India where measles was more common. (thenakedscientists.com)
