title: [The clinico-evolutionary considerations of 492 cases of measles hospitalized in the Infectious Disease Clinic Iaşi in 1997].
abstract: Between 01.01.1997-31.12.1997 in the Infections Diseases Clinical Hospital of Iaşi were admitted 492 patients suffering from measles. The above mentioned number of patients represents 4.92% of all the patients (10097) who were admitted during this period of time. More than half of the patients (56.9%) are residents in suburban arias. Teen-agers and young adults (15-24 years) were involved in most of the cases, followed by new born babies (0-11 months). The clinical signs were prevalent minor and the atypical exanthema was found in 1/4 of all cases. The most frequent complications were pneumonia, bronchopneumonia and otitis media. Of all the patients, two children (average age 1-4 years) died.
