Abstract

A total of 234 cases (provisional data) of clinical measles have been notified to the National Disease Surveillance Centre in the Republic of Ireland since late November 2002 (Weeks 48, 2002 to 06, 2003). This represents a substantial increase in the number of notified measles cases when compared to the same period in the previous four years (figure 1).
