    <subfield code="a">&lt;p&gt;Background: Measles is vaccine preventable diseases, which cause significant morbidity and mortality among children worldwide especially in developing countries like Ethiopia. In Southern Nation Nationalities and Peoples&amp;#39; Region outbreaks of measles occur every year. The aim was to rapidly investigate the outbreak epidemiologically and guiding response activities in the affected woreda, from March-April 2015.&lt;br&gt;
Methods: We reviewed a line list and case register logbook of the districts, as the World Health Organization, measles case definition. We interviewed 50 cases and 100 controls, using a structured questionnaire. We applied a checklist to observe case managed health facility. We collected blood samples, transported and examined as per to standard. We used epi info 7 to analying the data.&lt;br&gt;
Result: We identified 158 (five confirmed and 153 suspected) measles cases from line list, 86 (54.4%) were males, with median age of 6 years ranging from 7 months to 28 years. The most affected age was 5-9 years 90 (57%), with the age specific attack rate of 310/100,000.The epidemic peaked on 2/17/2015. We recruited 50 cases (median age of 5 years ranging from 1 year to 20 years), and 100 controls (median age 5 years ranging from 1 year to 14 years).Not-vaccinated for measles, [AOR=11.3, 95% CI (4-30.3)], Malnourished [AOR=8.6, 95% CI (3.8- 19.1)], and close Contact with cases, [OR=52.8, 95% CI (14.6, 190.3)], were factors significantly associated with the outbreak&lt;/p&gt;</subfield>
