In 1997, 338 measles cases was reported, the lowest number of measles cases ever reported. This represents 47% decrease from the number of measles cases (639) reported in 1996. The increase of the number of measles incidence during last two month of 1997 may forecast epidemic 1998 year. The laboratory confirmation of suspected measles, especially sporadic cases should be implemented in all voivodeships in Poland.
