Mumps is a viral childhood infection that is vaccine-preventable. The applied routine vaccination is safe and highly effective in reducing disease incidence. The purpose of the present work is to investigate the epidemiology of mumps in Varna region from 2011 to 2015. We performed a retrospective analysis using report data of Regional Health Inspectorate - Varna for the period 2011-2015. During the specified 5-year period a decrease in incidence rate of epidemic mumps has been observed in Varna. Disease affected all age groups (124 cases in total), but the incidence rate was the highest in 5-9-year-old (37 cases) followed by the group of children of 1-4 years of age (27 cases in total). Cases have been recorded during all months of the year but peaks were registered in November (18 cases), February (17 cases) and May (17 cases). To minimize the susceptible population and to eliminate the disease, high MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine coverage must be maintained in the society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
