A follow up on the measles story. People on a plane that landed in Detroit a week or so ago had the measles. Some of them ended up in Iowa.

Health Official Confirms 'Measles Outbreak'

snippet:

DES MOINES, Iowa -- State health officials and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday that there is a third confirmed case of measles in Iowa.

This third case was connected to an air traveler on a March 12 Detroit-to-Cedar Rapids flight. The traveler had come from New Dehli, India.

Friday, the University of Iowa Hygienic Laboratory confirmed that a second person had measles. That case was also connected to the March 12 passenger.

Iowa Department of Public Health's Dr. Patricia Quinlisk called it a "measles outbreak."

No names or hometowns have been released, but health officials said the latest case brings the disease closer to the Des Moines metro area.
