DHS Confirms Case of Measles in Dane County
Health officials investigating
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) and Public Health Madison Dane County have confirmed a case of measles in a resident of Dane County, representing the second confirmed case of measles in Wisconsin this year.
The person was exposed to measles during international travel and is not related to the case confirmed in Waukesha County last week. Due to privacy concerns, no additional personal identifying or health information will be released by DHS. DHS and Public Health Madison Dane County are working to identify and notify people who may have been exposed to the measles virus, including working closely with UW-Madison regarding on-campus exposure locations. Locations of possible public exposure will be updated on the DHS Outbreaks and Investigations webpage.
