Sporadic outbreaks of measles continue to occur throughout Australia that require considerable expenditure of time and resources to control. We report an outbreak investigation by the Communicable Disease Control Branch (CDCB), Department of Health, South Australia in late 2003 that utilised methods and identified issues that may be relevant to future investigations of measles outbreaks
