[Measles in Poland in 1999].

As it is typical for the year after epidemic, in 1999, the number of new cases of measles decreased and incidence was 0.3 per 100,000. No cases of measles were reported in five out of 16 newly formed voivodeships. The highest incidence was in voivodeships dolnoślaskie and małopolskie (0.5 per 100,000). Regarding age groups it was highest among 5 years old--2.3 per 100,000 and among 13-24 months old--2.0 per 100,000. Cases of older children reflect delay in vaccination. For another consecutive year the fraction of cases confirmed serologically (assay for IgM) was insufficient (15.2%) and it requires further improvement.

[Infectious diseases in Poland in 1998].

Epidemiological situation of majority of infectious diseases in Poland was in 1998 consecutively improved. Decrease of incidence of infectious hepatitis type A and B was noted as well as of tuberculosis and sexually transmitted diseases. Percentage of deaths caused by infectious diseases decreased to 0.6%. Sustaining of such positive trends will require first of all continuation of preventive immunizations at present level, improvement of laboratory diagnoses, but also an improvement of identification of diseased and infected peoples and also notification of cases.

[Measles in 1998].

Following 7 years of continuous decline of measles incidence numbers, in 1998 compensatory epidemic occurred. Incidence increased six times in comparison with 1997, to 5.8 per 100,000. Epidemic was caused mostly by cases among teenagers of 15 and more years old. Those cases made 60% of the total. Epidemic was limited mostly to the region of southern and southwestern voivodeships. At the time of epidemic surveillance was enhanced, but still fraction of cases confirmed serologically (assay for IgM) was insufficient and it requires further improvement.

[Demographic condition of Poland in years 1950-1998 and prognosis of its development up to the year 2050].

Proper evaluation of epidemiology data for a country requires knowledge of its demographic background. The most relevant data related to demographic structure and migration in 1950-1998 were chosen as a reference for epidemiological analysis. The review includes demographic prognoses developed in authors program of employees of Główny Urzad Statystyczny (National Office for Statistics) in Poland.

[Measles in 1997].

Since 1990, the decrease of measles morbidity rates and the increase of the areas with limited measles transmission are observed in Poland. In 1997, 338 measles cases was reported, the lowest number of measles cases ever reported. This represents 47% decrease from the number of measles cases (639) reported in 1996. The increase of the number of measles incidence during last two month of 1997 may forecast epidemic 1998 year. The laboratory confirmation of suspected measles, especially sporadic cases should be implemented in all voivodeships in Poland.

[Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) in Poland in the years 1993-1995. The sixth stage of epidemiological research].

Data was collected about 49 newly diagnosed cases of SSPE in the years 1993-1995 in Poland. In the analyzed period of time a falling of tendency the incidence of SSPE was maintained. Overall incidence--0.42 per million population, was lower than the incidence in years 1990-1992, when it was 0.72. The tendency of a shift towards older age group was maintained--the peak incidence was observed among 19 year olds, as opposed to 15 year olds in the previous analyzed time period. The authors explain the dropping SSPE incidence in Poland with a drop in measales incidence, which is a consequence of growing measles vaccine coverage rates. The influence of a big measles epidemic which occurred in 1989-1990 on a potential rise in number of SSPE cases has not been noted, but further observations are needed.

[Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis in Poland in the years 1990-1993. Stage V of epidemiologic studies].

The authors summarize the results of the fifth stage of epidemiological investigation on SSPE. The first stage covered the years 1971-1976, the next stages covered the periods: 1977-1983; 1984-1986; 1987-1989. In the period 1990-1993 data on 95 patients with SSPE were obtained. Morbidity rates continued to show a decreasing tendency (from 0.8 to 0.6 per 1,000,000 population) in the years 1990-1993, being lower the median morbidity (amounting to 0.98) in 1985-1989. Morbidity rates continued to shift towards older age groups: while the peak morbidity (25.7%) in the years 1990-1992 was noted in the 14-15 age range, in 1993 the peak (28.6%) was found in the age group of 16 to 19 years.

[Analysis of the correlation between measles and subacute sclerosis panencephalitis (SSPE) before and after introduction of vaccination in Poland].

Number of SSPE cases were analysed depending on epidemiologic situation of measles in Poland. Statistic analysis exhibit significant correlation between measles incidence in first year of live and total number of SSPE cases born in the same years. Problems antimeasles vaccination for eradication measles and SSPE were discussed based on the correlation.
