p37 In the article "Measles--United States, 1981," 16
areas
were reported as having no indigenous measles in
1981.
Information recently provided to CDC indicates that
South Carolina should now be added to this list. Of
the
2 cases reported to CDC from South Carolina for 1981,
1
was acquired outside the United States, and the other
was acquired out of state. Thus, there were 17
reporting areas that had no indigenous measles
transmission in 1981.
