[Rubella in Poland in 2005]
Przegla¸d epidemiologiczny 2007;61(2):199-206.
In Poland, 7946 cases of rubella were registered in 2005 (incidence 20.8 per 100,000 population). No cases of congenital rubella syndrome were reported. A 64% increase in incidence was noted, compared to 2004. Across voivodeships, the incidence ranged from 35.4 per 100,000 in Kujawskopomorskie to 10.3 per 100,000 in Lubelskie. As in 2004 rubella incidence among residents of urban areas was lower, compared to residents of rural areas (19.2 and 23.4 respectively). The incidence in men (22.9) was 21% higher than in women (18.9). The highest incidence was observed in children aged 6 and 7 years (202,0 and 190,7, respectively). Approximately 0,4% of cases required hospital admission. No rubella deaths were registered. The epidemiology of rubella in Poland has changed in recent years due to increasing proportion of children at the age of 13-14 months vaccinated with recommenaea vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella. Substantial improvement of rubella epidemiologic situation is expected in following decade after introduction of MMR in the routine immunization schedule at the end of 2003.
