Around 500 people were exposed to measles
in the Portland area in late June.
Testing confirmed a case of the measles
in the city on Wednesday.
Most of the people aren't believed to be in
danger of contracting the illness.
But 40 people who are considered
nonimmune are being monitored.
[Dr. Jennifer Vines, Multnomah County Deputy Health Officer]
“Measles is a serious disease that was basically eliminated in the United
States … When we see measles today, it is rare.”
Symptoms start with a high fever, then
white spots in the mouth and a rash.
