“We take measles very seriously and ask the public to do the same,” said Diana Ebling, MD, medical director at the IU Health Center, according to News and Tribune. “We will contact campus and community members who may have been exposed, but we also want our students and staff to review their own immunization history and take appropriate steps.”
Measles is a highly transmissible virus characterized by a rash that spreads all over the body. The illness also causes fever, runny nose and cough. Symptoms generally manifest one to two weeks after infection.
