It’s not hard to connect the dots.

Once considered eradicated, measles is now escalating.

Naval Hospital Bremerton public health and preventive medicine providers have been paying close attention to locally confirmed measle cases in the Puget Sound area, as well as outbreaks across the country.

While there isn’t cause for alarm, but there is always a need for awareness.

“Measles is an airborne, extremely infectious, and potentially severe viral illness. It is spread when an infected person breathes, coughs or sneezes to release virus in the air. Measles can cause a mild febrile illness with a rash or lead to hospitalization (one in five), pneumonia (one in 20), brain infection and possibly death,” said Capt. Jackie McDowell, NHB preventive and occupational medicine physician."
