Worst measles outbreaks in U.S

According to a news from the Washington State health department, the (unidentified) woman was probably exposed to the extremely contagious virus while at a medical facility during an outbreak in Clallam County.


Because she was already sick with other health conditions, her immune system was weakened, and she couldn't fight off the disease. She didn't develop the telltale rash — which isn't unusual in patients with already compromised immune systems — but an autopsy later revealed the virus caused the pneumonia that killed her in the spring.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there have been 178 cases of measles in 24 states and the District this year. So only six months into 2015, there have already been about as many measles cases as other recent years with bad outbreaks.
