Retrospective seroprevalence study finds notable immunity gaps across age groups and regions in Croatia.

This study aims to analyze the seroprevalence of measles antibodies in the Croatian population from 2015 to 2025.
1998 individuals tested for measles antibodies from 2015 to 2025
MV IgG antibodies detected using ELISA
Multivariable logistic regression analysis performed to assess various factors associated with seropositivity.
Overall seroprevalence rate was 75.1% with significant year-to-year variability (50.0-86.5%)
Seroprevalence increased with age, from 60.9% (age 1-10) to 91.1% (age 61+)
Geographic differences found; seropositivity was higher in coastal regions (81.3%) compared to continental regions (71.0%).

Vilibić-Čavlek et al. (2026) studied this question.
