  • Title: [Rubella in Poland in 2002].
    Author: Czarkowski MP, Rosińska M.
    Journal: Przegl Epidemiol; 2004; 58(1):49-55. PubMed ID: 15218643.
    Abstract:
    In Poland, 40,518 cases of rubella were registered in 2002 (incidence 106 per 100,000 population), including 2 cases of congenital rubella syndrome (incidence 0.57 per 100,000 live births). A 52% decrease in incidence was noted with respect to the epidemic year 2001. Across the voivodeships the incidence ranged from 227.7 per 100,000 in wielkopolskie to 21.4 per 100,000 in warminsko-mazurskie. As in 2001 urban areas registered slightly lower incidence than the rural areas (104.2 and 108.9 respectively). The incidence in men (120.2) was 24% higher than in women (91.9) and this difference appears to increase with routine vaccination of 13-year old girls. The highest incidence was observed in children aged 7 (1,023.2 per 100,000), 8 (930.7) and 9 years (859.6). Approximately 0.4% of cases required hospital admission. No rubella deaths were registered.
