Measles case in Michigan likely related to Disneyland outbreak
OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. (WZZM/USA TODAY) -- The measles are here in Michigan. An adult in Oakland County has been diagnosed with the state's first case of 2015, possibly stemming from an outbreak that began at Disneyland before Christmas.
The outbreak is now affecting at least 70 people in seven states and hundreds more may have been exposed at schools, doctor's offices, hospitals, shopping malls and other places visited by infected patients.
Michigan is the latest state to report a case of measles likely related to Disneyland but an exact connection has not yet been determined. Aside from California, the outbreak has spread to Arizona, Utah, Washington, Colorado, Oregon and across the border to Mexico.
As in earlier measles outbreaks, schools and hospitals prove to be hot spots for exposing large numbers of people to the virus, one of the most contagious diseases.
