Is vaccine responisble for Mumps outbreak???
The first reports to the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) of
mumps-like illness occurred in December 2005 at a university in eastern Iowa, where several students with glandular swelling were tested; two tested positive for mumps-specific IgM antibodies. In mid-January 2006, an isolate from an unrelated patient was cultured and identified as mumps virus at the University Hygienic Laboratory (Iowa's state public health laboratory). Viral isolates were sent to CDC, and the mumps strain was identified as genotype G. By mid-February, active surveillance had been initiated in seven geographic areas, including the campuses of the three largest universities in Iowa. Of the 219 cases reported in Iowa, the median patient age was 21 years (range: 3--85 years), with 48% of patients aged 17--25 years (Figure 2); 30% (34 of 114) were known to be college students. Of the 133 patients with investigated vaccine history, 87 (65%) had documentation of receiving 2 doses http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5513a3.htm |
