A measles outbreak at university medical settings involving health care providers.

D G Sienko, C Friedman, H B McGee, M J Allen, W F Simonsen, B B Wentworth, T C Shope and W A Orenstein

In 1985, a measles outbreak involved 14 students and non-student contacts in Michigan. Eight transmissions occurred at university medical facilities; five of these were likely airborne transmissions. Medical students and a medical resident were involved in the outbreak's propagation. Health care providers need to be immune to measles. Measles should be suspected in young adults with compatible illnesses; persons suspected to have measles should be placed in stringent respiratory isolation to preclude airborne transmission.
