Abstract
Objective: To analyze published works involving the recent measles outbreaks and their relationship with the recent phenomenon of post-truth, fake news and anti-vaccine movement. Methods: Integrative literature review, in the electronic databases LILACS, PUBMED and SCIELO, with the following descriptors, in Portuguese: “measles”; "vaccination"; "News"; “Refusal of vaccination” and “detection of lies”, from 2013 to 2019. Combination steps between descriptors, in categories, were used for the selection of articles and analysis. Results: 3680 articles were found, 12 from the SCIELO database, 3639 from PUBMED and 29 from LILACS, which, after applying the exclusion criteria, left 60 articles. Brazil appears in three publications (5% of the total). There was a linear growth between publications, from the years 2013 to 2019. Final considerations: The worldwide academic production regarding the theme, was significant in the period, when the components of the proposed idea were observed in isolation, pointing out some subjects with greater emphasis what others. However, there is a need for more publications involving the themes in an integrated manner, in order to establish, or not, an association of terms in the cause-consequence dynamic.
