Objective: To analyze the evolution of the measles outbreak in Brazil in 2019, as well as the actions of combat and prevention practiced. Method: This is a literature review, the theoretical approach was elaborated from scientific publications extracted from the VHL database, which includes articles from other scientific databases, such as LILACS, SCIELO, PUB MED. We also used some documents published by the Ministry of Health, such as: Epidemiological Bulletins and Newsletters, Health Surveillance Guide and Ordinance. Results: In 2019, the peak of the disease in Brazil occurred between weeks 26 and 50 (23/06/2019 to 14/12/2019). Altogether, there were 18,203 confirmed cases, with 15 deaths. 526 municipalities distributed in 23 Federation Units confirmed cases of measles, most of them in the state of São Paulo, which concentrated 84% of the cases, followed by the states of Paraná (4.2%), Rio de Janeiro (1.8%), Pernambuco (1.5%), Santa Catarina (1.4%), Minas Gerais (0.7%) and Pará (0.6%), together adding a total of 17,955 cases or 98.6% of all cases in the country. Conclusion: The numerous outbreaks that spread throughout the various states caused concern of the health authorities, being carried out constant monitoring of the situation, adopting strategies aimed at eliminating the residue of susceptible in all age groups to allow the elimination of the disease in the country, again winning the certificate of country free of the disease. In the most affected states, however, none of them reached the vaccination target of 95% of the population in all its municipalities.
