Abstract(s)
O sarampo é uma doença exantemática viral, altamente contagiosa sendo o homem o
único hospedeiro natural, embora os macacos do velho mundo tenham sido infetados
experimentalmente.
O sarampo é considerado uma das principais doenças associadas à morbimortalidade
entre crianças menores de cinco anos, nomeadamente, nas crianças desnutridas que vivem
nos países com menor desenvolvimento económico
No ano de 2017, foram registrados 14.451 casos de sarampo (36 óbitos) em 30 países da
União Europeia, sendo este numero três vezes superior ao número de casos notificados
no ano de 2016 (4643).
Em 2017, o número de novos casos de sarampo na Europa quadruplicou, a doença infetou
22.360 pessoas e causou 36 mortes. Nos primeiros três meses de 2018, a Europa registrou
mais de 18 mil casos de sarampo, sendo que os países como a França, a Grécia, a Sérvia
e a Ucrânia são os países com o maior número de casos. A Rússia, por sua parte, notificou
mais de 600 casos. A estratégia mais importante para o controlo do sarampo é a vacinação
recomendada pelo Programa Ampliado de Imunização, da Organização Mundial de
saúde, no entanto, alguns países apresentam dificuldade em alcançar níveis de cobertura
vacinais desejados à interrupção da circulação do vírus mesmo havendo disponibilidade
da vacina efetiva.
Na atualidade o sarampo continua a ser problema de saúde pública em países em
desenvolvimento associado à duração da imunidade entre os vacinados e mesmo em
países em que alcançaram a eliminação deste vírus este ainda acarreta custos económicos
e sociais resultantes da proliferação do mesmo.
The measle is a highly contagious viral exanthematous disease and man is the only natural host, although the old world monkeys have been experimentally infected. The measle is considered to be one of the major diseases associated with morbidity and mortality among children under five years of age, including malnourished children living in countries with the least economic development. In the year 2017, 14,451 cases of measle (36 deaths) were registered in 30 European Union countries, three times higher than the number of cases notified in 2016 (4643). In 2017, the number of new cases of measles in Europe quadrupled, the disease infected 22,360 people and caused 36 deaths. In the first three months of 2018, Europe has registered more than 18,000 cases of measles, with countries such as France, Greece, Serbia and Ukraine accounting for the highest number of cases. Russia, for its part, has reported more than 600 cases. The most important strategy for measles control is the vaccination recommended by the World Health Organization Expanded Program on Immunization, however, some countries find it difficult to achieve desired vaccination coverage levels for disruption of the virus even though the vaccine is available. Currently measles continues to be a public health problem in developing countries associated with the duration of immunity among vaccinees and even in countries where they have reached the elimination of this virus this still carries the economic and social costs resulting from the proliferation of this virus.
