Minas Gerais has already reported 36 suspected cases of measles in the first three months of 2019. Out of this total, 19 were discarded and another 16 are being investigated; one case was confirmed.
According to the bulletin released on Thursday (4) by the State Department of Health (SES), the cases were registered in 16 cities. Most are in the Divin?polis Regional Health Center in the Center-West region of Minas Gerais.
A confirmed diagnosis of the disease was classified as an imported case. The patient is a 29-year-old Italian living in Betim, Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte, and has made recent trips to Croatia and Italy.
In 2016, Brazil received the certificate of elimination of measles virus circulation from the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO).

The return of measles in the country began last year. The first cases were registered in the North, which received a large number of refugees from Venezuela, a country that already faced an outbreak of the disease. Experts are unanimous, however, in stating that if the vaccination of the Brazilian population were adequate, there would be no conditions for the disease cycle to be established.

During 2018, 10,326 cases of the disease were confirmed in 11 states. The peak was recorded in July, with 3,950 infections found...
