CDC: Measles cases lowest since 1912.
2004 SEP 1 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Measles cases are at the lowest levels in nearly a century, the U.S. government says.
There were only 216 cases of the virus in the 3 years from 2001-03, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported. The 44 cases recorded in 2002 represented the lowest number since the disease became nationally reportable in 1912.
Although there were more than 55,000 cases between 1989 and 1991, vaccinations and other public health efforts helped the CDC declare in 2000 that measles could no longer be naturally found in the United States.
"The United States has a good surveillance system and I think we are picking up almost every case," said Dr. Gustavo Dayan, CDC medical epidemiologist.
