Consequently, we have conducted to assess the measles cases and its determinants in South West Ethiopia. Methods: A rapid cross sectional study was conducted following epidemics in June 2016 to evaluate factors associated with measles recurrence in South West Ethiopia. Multivariable logistic regression model was used. Variables with p value less than 0.05 claimed as the significant over the dependent variable. Results: Among total of 192 children 45 (23.3 percent) children were found with manifestations of measles sign and symptoms in South West Ethiopia. About twenty five percent of children were not fully immunized. Although this was high incidence only two variables were significantly associated with measles incidence. These were mothers or family members who had adequate knowledge and fully vaccinated for vaccinated children have less risk of acquiring measles after controlled for wealth quintiles, sex of child, maternal education, occupation, residence, house sanitation and distance from health center. Conclusion: this study claimed being not fully vaccinated and limited knowledge of mothers and care givers towards diseases exposed children to develop measles. Special focus should be given to improve coverage of full vaccination and creating mass awareness.
