| Abstract | In 1992, Brazil adopted the goal of measles elimination by the year 2000; however, in 1997, after a 4-year
period of good control, there was a resurgence of measles in Brazil. In 1999, to achieve the elimination goal,
Brazil implemented the Supplementary Emergency Measles Action plan, with one measles surveillance technician designated to each state. Of 10,007 suspected measles cases reported during 1999, 908 (9.1%) were
confirmed, and of them 378 (42%) were confirmed by laboratory analysis. Of 8358 suspected measles cases
reported in 2000, 36 (0.4%) were confirmed (30 [83%] by laboratory); 92% of the discarded cases were classified
on the basis of laboratory testing. In 2001, only 1 of 5599 suspected measles cases was confirmed, and it was
an imported case from Japan. The last outbreak occurred in February 2000, with 15 cases. Current data suggest
interruption of indigenous measles transmission in Brazil. | pt_BR |
