Measles Outbreak in Children: Experience of the Children's Hospital of Rabat (2024-2025)

This study provides a descriptive hospital-based overview of pediatric measles cases requiring admission during the 2024-2025 outbreak. Severe complications and in-hospital mortality were frequently observed among hospitalized children, particularly among younger infants. These findings are limited to hospitalized cases and do not allow inference regarding vaccine effectiveness, outbreak dynamics, or population-level disease severity.

Abstract

This study provides a descriptive hospital-based overview of pediatric measles cases requiring admission during the 2024-2025 outbreak. Severe complications and in-hospital mortality were frequently observed among hospitalized children, particularly among younger infants. These findings are limited to hospitalized cases and do not allow inference regarding vaccine effectiveness, outbreak dynamics, or population-level disease severity.
