The following mucosal are characteristic of measles in adult patients: dryness in the oral cavity, dryness, desquamation, and fissures in the red edge and in the mouth corners, edema and hyperemia, of the buccal mucosa, macular enanthema on the hard and soft palate, Bel'skiĭ-Filatov-Koplik spots, whitish deposit on the gingiva, edematous and bleeding gingiva, and, as a result of general intoxication, a lingual deposit. Leukinferon, a wide-spectrum immunocorrective drug, was used to improve the efficacy of treatment of adult patients with measles; besides alpha-interferon, it contains other cytokines of the first phase of immune response. Therapy with leukinferon led to a sooner improvement of the general status and a more rapid regression of the disease symptoms, including changes in the buccal mucosa, in comparison with the control leukinferon-untreated group.

Background: Measles, an ongoing public health concern, demands continuous molecular surveillance and virus characterization for elimination. Despite Iran achieving measles elimination status in 2019 through robust molecular testing and vaccination, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted global vaccination efforts, leading to increased measles-related morbidity and mortality. This study aims to overview measles virus serological and molecular traits in Iran from 1st January 2021 to 30th April 2023.

Objective: To estimate measles-mumps-rubella vaccination coverage, delay and loss to follow-up in children up to 24 months old living in Brazilian cities.
Methods: Surveys and questionnaires with a retrospective cohort of live births in 2017-2018, analyzing vaccination coverage and sociodemographic data of children and families, based on vaccination card records and interviews.
Results: Valid coverage of first dose was 90.
Aim: Romania is currently facing a prolonged measles outbreak. The aim of the study was to analyse the circulating human measles virus (HMV) strains by combining whole genome sequencing (WGS) with phylogenetic analysis, with a focus on the haemagglutinin gene.
Methods: We conducted an observational study in the first five months of 2024, in which 168 patients diagnosed with measles were randomly included.
Unveiling immunity gaps and determining a suitable age for a third dose of the measles-containing vaccine: a strategic approach to accelerating measles elimination.

Background: In highly measles immunized countries, immunity gaps in adolescents and young adults are a key issue posing an obstacle to measles elimination. This study aims to identify the gaps by estimating the age-stratified probability of seropositivity, and to ascertain a suitable age for the administration of a third dose of a measles-containing vaccine (MCV3) to effectively fill these gaps.
Methods: We retrospectively obtained measles serological results from hospital setting among among individuals aged 13-39 years and developed a serocatalytic dynamic probability model, stratifying seropositivity due to vaccination or natural infection.
