    Abstract:
    In 2000, as compared with 1999, a 49% increase in the number of rubella cases was noted. It corresponded to the development a new compensatory epidemic (the peak of the last epidemic was observed in 1997). A total of 49,181 cases were registered, including 1 case of congenital rubella. Incidence on the country level was 119.5 per 100,000 population. In particular voivodeships it ranged from 24.0 to 314.8. Incidence in urban areas was 35% higher than in rural areas. Incidence among women (109.0) was 16% lower than among men (130.6). One of the probable reasons of this difference was intensive immunization of 13-year old girls, which have been providing for several years. Among all registered rubella cases 94.2% were children under 15 years of age. The highest incidence was noted among 7-year old (1,216.0) and 6-year old (1,148.9) children. About 0.3% of rubella cases were hospitalized. No rubella deaths were noted.
