Abstract
Measles represents an occupational risk for healthcare personnel (HCP). A total of 117 cases of measles among HCP were notified in Greece during 2017–2018. We were able to contact 46 of them. Most of those contacted had a serious clinical course with complications, necessitating hospitalization in 67% of cases. All HCP reported absenteeism, for a mean duration of 21.2 working days (range: 3–60 days); 54.3% of HCP reported being at work while symptomatic for a mean duration of 2.3 working days (range: 1–7 days). The average total cost-of-illness was €4,739 per HCP. The total direct and indirect costs of the 117 notified cases among HCP amount to €554,494, which is likely to be an underestimate of the true cost. © 2019 The Healthcare Infection Societ
