摘要:Over a 4-week period from 10 April to 4 May 2000, 7 casesof serologically confirmed measles were notified to theCommunicable Disease Control Branch (CDCB) (Figure 1).The index case was a 25-year-old female employed as apatient service assistant in a large metropolitan privatehospital. She developed a fever on 2 April and a rash on thefollowing day. There was no history of recent travel, contactwith a person with a rash, illness, previous measles ormeasles vaccination. On 13 April her 20-year-old brother(case 3) who resided in the same household presented witha measles-like illness. He had no history of measles ormeasles vaccination and had therefore received normalimmunoglobulin (human) (NIg(H)) and measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine on 10 April 2000. It could not beestablished if case 3 was due to a vaccine response ormeasles infection
