• Alert: Measles in Wisconsin
  A message from our infectious Disease Committee Chair, Jim Conway. It now looks like we've hit the trifecta in Wisconsin - mumps(2005-6), measles and now rubella. Please be alert for patients with fever & rash, especially those who are underimmunized or with travel or other possible exposures. Remember that samples go to the state lab and not to commercial labs as both the turnaround and cost are far better.
  
  Information from Wisconsin Health Department reviewing acceptible evidence for immune status for measles.
