Pourquoi c'est important

Japan was recognized by the WHO in 2015 as having eliminated measles. However, global measles cases have been increasing since 2023, raising the risk of imported cases. Measles is highly contagious and can cause severe symptoms like pneumonia and encephalitis.

中新社东京6月2日电 (记者朱晨曦)日本国立健康危机管理研究机构2日发布的数据显示，今年以来日本累计报告麻疹病例达511例，达去年同时期的近4倍。

数据显示，截至5月24日的一周，日本全国医疗机构共报告麻疹病例11例。东京都今年已累计报告麻疹病例253例，占全国病例数的近一半。过去10年中，日本报告麻疹病例最多的年份为2019年，达744例。

日本国立健康危机管理研究机构说，麻疹传染力极强，没有免疫的人如果暴露于病毒，超过90%会发病，病情严重者会出现肺炎、脑炎等症状。世界卫生组织2015年认定日本已消灭麻疹，即至少有3年未发现本土的麻疹病毒毒株。但2023年以来，全球范围麻疹病例报告数持续增加，病毒为海外来源的风险不断升高。接种两剂疫苗是预防感染麻疹和发展成重症的最有效方法。

日本厚生劳动省表示，为预防感染麻疹，应确保儿童定期接种疫苗，并呼吁经常接触儿童的职业人群以及经常接触旅客的旅游业和机场工作人员及时接种疫苗。(完)
