Tendo em vista essa stuação, são recomendadas estratégias a serem adotadas em todas as unidades federadas, visando o controle da epidemia no país. Histórico O sarampo passou a ser doença de notificação compukória nacional em 1968. Durante muitos anos, foi uma das principais causas de morbidade e mortalidade na infância, principalmente nos menores de 1 ano de idade''^ ^ A doença comportava-se de forma endémica no País, ocorrendo epidemias a cada 2 ou 3 anos^*'.

In 1999, to achieve the elimination goal, Brazil implemented the Supplementary Emergency Measles Action plan, with one measles surveillance technician designated to each state. Of 10,007 suspected measles cases reported during 1999, 908 (9.1%) were confirmed, and of them 378 (42%) were confirmed by laboratory analysis. Of 8358 suspected measles cases reported in 2000, 36 (0.4%) were confirmed (30 [83%] by laboratory); 92% of the discarded cases were classified on the basis of laboratory testing. In 2001, only 1 of 5599 suspected measles cases was confirmed, and it was an imported case from Japan. The last outbreak occurred in February 2000, with 15 cases. Current data suggest interruption of indigenous measles transmission in Brazil.
