Measles in immunized medical residents: Case series with brief review
J Family Med Prim Care. 2021 Nov;10(11):4311-4313. doi: 10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_714_21. Epub 2021 Nov 29.ABSTRACTMeasles is a vaccine-preventable disease that continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in children and young adults across the world. Immunization efforts have reduced the incidence of measles over the last 3 decades, but outbreaks are seen in high-transmission areas with susceptible populations, as is seen in hospitals and student campuses. The protection offered by prior vaccination may wean off over time making vaccinated individuals susceptible to infection. Hence, catch-up immunization drives sh...

What the Gates Foundation Has Achieved, 15 Years On
There are a whole lot of things you may or may not get to do in the next 15 years, but a few of them you can take for granted: eating, for one. Having access to a bank, for another. And then there’s the simple business of not dying of a preventable or treatable disease. Good for you—and good for most of us in the developed world. But the developed world isn’t the whole story.
The bad—and familiar—news is that developing nations lag far behind in income, public health, food production, education and more. The much, much better news is that all of that is changing—and fast. The just-releas...

Immunogenicity of measles-rubella vaccine administered under India's Universal Immunization Programme in the context of measles-rubella elimination goal: A longitudinal study
CONCLUSIONS: MR vaccine administered below one year of age under the UIP resulted in seroprotection against rubella and measles in a large majority of children. Furthermore, its second dose resulted in seroprotection of all children. The current MR vaccination strategy of two doses, out of which the first is to be given to infants below one year of age, appears robust and justifiable among Indian children.PMID:37102515 | DOI:10.4103/ijmr.IJMR_4113_20

Emerging and Re-emerging Infections in Children: COVID/ MIS-C, Zika, Ebola, Measles, Varicella, Pertussis ... Immunizations
Emerg Med Clin North Am. 2021 Aug;39(3):453-465. doi: 10.1016/j.emc.2021.04.002. Epub 2021 Jun 10.ABSTRACTThe role of the emergency provider lies at the forefront of recognition and treatment of novel and re-emerging infectious diseases in children. Familiarity with disease presentations that might be considered rare, such as vaccine-preventable and non-endemic illnesses, is essential in identifying and controlling outbreaks. As we have seen thus far in the novel coronavirus pandemic, susceptibility, severity, transmission, and disease presentation can all have unique patterns in children. Emergency providers also have the...
