State Warns of Measles Outbreak

Four confirmed cases of measles in the past month and nine cases for the year prompted the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) to issue a health alert and urge immunization. DSHS asked physicians and other health care professionals to watch for potential exposures and patients with measles symptoms, particularly in North Texas. DSHS said you should consider measles in your diagnosis if you have a patient with a rash and fever. If you suspect measles, report it to your local health department as soon as possible.
