An outbreak of measles that began with an inmate at a federal detention center for immigrants in central Arizona has now grown to 11 confirmed cases, officials said Monday.

Seven of those infected are inmates at the Eloy Detention Center, and four are workers at the facility, Pinal County Health Services spokesman Joe Pyritz said. The privately-run facility has stopped accepting new detainees or releasing those currently held there.

State and county health officials said they’re working to stop new transmissions by isolating patients, vaccinating people detained in the privately-run facility and trying to identify people who were at locations the four infected workers visited. …

Once again, CNS has the clearer headline versus AP themselves.

Now they have to check the Morlock detention center.

There are far worse diseases and plaints in those centers than measles.

And the workers take it home to their wife and kids. The kids take it to school and the wife takes it to the grocery store. Then the kids at school take it on their summer vacations and the grocery store cashier gives it to the next 3482 customers that come through her line. Then we have an Obameasles crisis on our hands. January can’t come soon enough.

Complications of measles may include:

Ear infection. One of the most common complications of measles is a bacterial ear infection.
Bronchitis, laryngitis or croup. Measles may lead to inflammation of the larynx or inflammation of the inner walls that line the main air passageways of the lungs (bronchial tubes).
Pneumonia. This is a common complication of measles. People with compromised immune systems can develop an especially dangerous variety of pneumonia that is sometimes fatal.
Encephalitis. About 1 in 1,000 people with measles develops encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain that may cause vomiting, convulsions, and, rarely, coma or even death. Encephalitis can closely follow measles, or it can occur months later.
Pregnancy problems. If pregnant, measles exposure can result in pregnancy loss, preterm labor or low birth weight.
Low platelet count (thrombocytopenia). Measles may lead to a decrease in platelets — the type of blood cells that are essential for blood clotting.

Not also congenital deafness and even mental retardation? Or is that only for German Measles?

German Measles (or rubella) can be deadly to a fetus.

Up to 90 percent of infants born to mothers who had rubella during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy develop congenital rubella syndrome. This syndrome can cause one or more problems, including:

Growth retardation
Cataracts
Deafness
Congenital heart defects
Defects in other organs
Mental retardation

The highest risk to the fetus is during the first trimester, but exposure later in pregnancy also is dangerous.
