Abstract

New pediatric and adult subacute sclerosing panencephalitis cases between 1996 and 2020 were reported based on an established UK registry with no evidence of under-ascertainment using a separate pediatric surveillance system. After 15 years with no pediatric UK-acquired cases, 3 cases arose from 2017 after increased measles. Modeling suggested this was in line with measles notifications, underreporting of laboratory-confirmed measles or increased subacute sclerosing panencephalitis risk.
