Abstract

We described clinical cases of rash which repeatedly happened to the twice re-admitted patient due to suspected measles diagnosis. Positive ELISA test 2 times was inconclusive and we had to refer to National CD for RT-PCR which confirmed measles on the second hospitalization time. Interpretation of each of the episodes needed to outsource assistance of the National CDC to confirm or exclude the disease and decide about the immunity of patients. There are still many gaps in immunization in Georgia. It is highly suspected that statistical data does not reflect the real epidemiological situation in the country since many rashes might be not judged correctly. Serology and RT-PCR must be available in the Hospitals. RT-PCR is highly recommended when positive ELISA routine serology is inconclusive in the repetitive cases of measles-like rashes.
