INTRODUCTION. Since 2005, rubella has been included in the eradication program coordinated by the World Health Organization (WHO). The elimination of rubella in the country is possible provided that it is achieved by min. 95% immunization status and monitoring of the epidemiological situation, including the recording all suspicions of rubella and conducting laboratory diagnostics in the WHO Reference Laboratory. AIM OF THE STUDY. The aim of the study is to assess the epidemiological situation of rubella in Poland in 2020, taking into account the assessment of rubella vaccination status and the degree of implementation of the WHO rubella elimination program in Poland. MATERIAL AND METHODS. Assessment of the epidemiological situation of rubella in Poland based on aggregated reports of suspected rubella cases sent to the National Institute of Public Health NIH – National Research Institute by the Voivodeship Sanitary and Epidemiological Stations, data from the bulletin “Infectious diseases and poisoning in Poland in 2020” and data from the Epibaza system and the bulletin “Preventive vaccination in Poland in 2020”. RESULTS. In 2020, 98 cases of rubella were registered, 187 cases less than in 2019 (285 cases). There was also a decrease in the incidence to 0.26 per 100,000, compared to 0.74 per 100,000 in 2019. The highest incidence, iregardless of gender and place of residence, was recorded in the 0-4 age group (2.98 per 100,000). In 2020, no cases of congenital rubella syndrome were reported. In 2020, only one case (1.02%) was classified as a case confirmed in a laboratory test. The remaining 98.98% (97 cases) were diagnosed on the basis of clinical symptoms. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS. In 2020, in Poland, a decrease in the number of rubella was observed. Rubella was registered in 99% on the basis of a general diagnosis, without the required laboratory confirmation, which means that other rash diseases can be registered as rubella.

Mumps in Poland in 2020

2023

INTRODUCTION. Mumps is an acute, generalized viral disease whose source of infection is the infected person. In 2003, vaccination against mumps became compulsory in Poland, performed according to a twodose scheme. The combined MMR vaccine (against measles, mumps and rubella) was introduced as part of the Protective Vaccination Program (PVP), which influenced the number of cases in Poland. AIM. The aim of the study was to evaluate the epidemiological indicators of mumps in Poland in 2020 compared to previous years. METHODS. The analysis of the epidemiological situation of mumps in Poland in 2020 was based on the interpretation of data from the bulletin “Infectious diseases and poisonings in Poland in 2020” and “Vaccinations in Poland in 2020”. RESULTS. In 2020, 582 cases of mumps were registered in Poland. The total incidence was 1.5 per 100,000 inhabitants and was lower compared to 2019. The highest incidence was 2.0 per 100,000 inhabitants were registered in the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship and the lowest – 0.7 in the Dolnośląskie Voivodeship. The highest incidence (24.6/100,000) was recorded in children aged 5-9 years. The incidence of men (1.8/100,000) was higher than that of women (1.2/100,000). In 2020, 6 patients were hospitalized in Poland due to mumps, which was less than in 2019 (22 patients). The level of vaccination against mumps in children aged 3 was lower by 0.7 percentage points compared to 2019 and amounted to 91.9% across Poland. CONCLUSIONS. In 2020, there was a decrease in the number of mumps cases compared to the previous year. The lower incidence may have been the result of a reduction in mumps virus transmission due to a change in population health behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the epidemiological threat, the functioning of nurseries, kindergartens and schools was also temporarily suspended, which resulted in a reduction in the incidence of mumps in younger age groups, which are the main group of patients.

“…The epidemiological situation of measles in Poland in 2020 was assessed on the basis of an individual case/suspected case report form for measles sent to the NIPH NIH -NRI by the Voivodeship Sanitary and Epidemiological Stations and data from the annual bulletin "Infectious diseases and poisoning in Poland in 2020" (4). The analysis of the population immunization status in 2020 is based on data from the annual bulletin "Vaccination in Poland in 2020" (5).…”

2023

INTRODUCTION. Measles is a disease under the elimination program coordinated by the World Health Organization (WHO). The elimination of measles in the country is possible provided that 95% of the population is vaccinated with two doses of the vaccine, the epidemiological situation is monitored, all suspected cases of measles are recorded, and laboratory diagnostics are conducted by the WHO Reference Laboratory. Polish Reference Laboratory is located at the Department of Virology NIPH NIH – NRI. OBJECTIVE. The aim of the article is to analyze the epidemiological situation of measles in Poland in 2020 with presenting the measles vaccination coverage and the progress of the measles elimination programme in Poland. MATERIAL AND METHODS. The epidemiological situation of measles in Poland was analyzed on the basis of the case-based questionnaires of cases suspected of measles sent to NIPH NIH – NRI by the Sanitary and Epidemiological Stations, data from the publications: “Infectious diseases and poisonings in Poland in 2020” and “Vaccinations in Poland in 2020”. RESULTS. In 2020, 29 cases of measles were notified to the surveillance system in Poland (incidence 0.08 per 100,000 population). The highest incidence was observed in the aged 0-4 was estimated at 0.42 per 100,000 population. Out of all cases, 9 (31%) were hospitalized. No fatal cases due to the measles were reported. CONCLUSIONS. The epidemiological situation of measles in 2020 in comparison with the situation in 2019, has improvement. This was a trend in throughout Europe.
