"/On March 11, local time, the Texas Department of State Health Services reported that a measles outbreak occurred in the southern plains of Texas. Since the end of January this year, 223 cases have been found in the state. Among them, 29 patients have been hospitalized and one school-age child has died. The child was not vaccinated and had no known underlying diseases.

The report said that because the disease is highly contagious, more cases may occur in the epidemic area and its surrounding communities. The Texas Department of State Health Services is working with local health departments to investigate the epidemic.

Measles is an acute rash respiratory infectious disease caused by the measles virus, which is mainly transmitted through respiratory droplets and aerosols. Within one to two weeks after exposure to the virus, the infected person will have symptoms such as high fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, tears, and rash. In severe cases, complications such as pneumonia may occur, and even death.
