Thirteen measles cases in South Australia brought in from Bali THREE more cases of measles have been reported in Adelaide, bringing the total to 13 since last month. The disease - brought in by holiday-makers who caught in it Bali - is spreading among people who are not fully immunised. Authorities say several schools and health centres were visited by people during the infectious stages and are urging people with symptoms to see a doctor. It comes as SA Health data shows isolated cases of leprosy and typhoid also have been brought in to Adelaide from overseas in the past two months and flu numbers spike. SA Health Chief Medical Officer Professor Paddy Phillips said the highly contagious measles is spread through coughing and sneezing. everyone makes sure they've had two doses of the measles vaccine to protect themselves and the community," he said. We are especially encouraging people born after or during 1966 to check their vaccination records, and request the vaccine if there is no record of them receiving two doses. If you are in this age group and haven't received two measles vaccines, SA Health offers free measles vaccines (MMR) through GPs and local councils. People with measles have recently spent time in Noarlunga, Seaford, Morphett Vale, Lonsdale, Adelaide City and surrounding suburbs during their infectious period. This includes Old Noarlunga Primary School, Moana Primary School and medical centres at Seaford, Noarlunga and Hackam and Flinders Medical Centre and Noarlunga Health Service. We are advising everyone who isn't fully immunised to be alert for symptoms over the next few weeks and if they are ill to see a doctor," Professor Phillips said. It is very important that people phone their doctor before any visit and mention why they are attending, so precautions can be taken to avoid spreading disease to others. There have now been 16 cases of measles reported in South Australia during 2013, compared to 3 cases at this time last year. Flu numbers have also spiked, prompting warnings to take care of basic hygiene from covering mouths when sneezing to washing hands.
