The Flathead City-County Health Department (FCCHD) has confirmed a second case of measles in a Flathead County resident who has reported recent travel outside of Montana. There is no clear indication of the exact point of exposure and there is no connection with the previous case reported in Flathead County. This individual is an adult and is currently isolating at home following recent hospitalization for the illness. FCCHD disease investigation staff have determined two locations of public exposure, the LHMC emergency department and the Logan Health medical office building at 350 Heritage Way. The attached press release from the FCCHD provides more details.
FCCHD recommends that anyone who visited the locations only during the specified dates and times may have been exposed to measles. They are working closely with MT DPHHS and our infection control team through the investigation process identifying and notifying patients.
