title: [Specific features of the epidemic process of measles and epidemic parotitis in territories with ecologically unfavorable conditions].
abstract: Differences in the epidemic process of measles and epidemic parotitis in cities situated at territories with ecologically unfavorable conditions have been established. The intensity of the epidemic process of measles and epidemic parotitis is higher in those cities where a higher total level of pollution has been established. A high level of morbidity in these infections is due to disturbances in the immunological resistance of children living in such cities and, as a consequence, having insufficient postvaccinal immunity. A higher percentage of seronegative children among those immunized against the corresponding infections and a higher morbidity level among this category of the population have been established. To decrease morbidity in measles and epidemic parotitis to the level, sporadic for such cities, a greater coverage of children with immunization (up to 99-99.5%) is necessary.
