Measles has been spotted in two children in Minnesota including one whose illness was so severe it led to them being hospitalized, local health officials say. The youngsters—both under five years old—started displaying symptoms of the disease shortly after returning from an unnamed nation where 'measles is common'. While one child is on emergency wards at a hospital the second is currently in isolation at home.(Snip)Measles has been eliminated in the United States for almost 20 years thanks to a comprehensive vaccination program. But globally the disease continues to circulate in a handful of countries including Brazil, India and areas of West and Central Africa.
