More confirmed measles cases in northeastern Wisconsin.
The state Department of Health Services announced Friday that five more people have contracted measles in Oconto County. The five new cases are connected to nine previous cases in Oconto County earlier this month.
That brings the total number of cases to 14.
Health officials say all of the measles infections have been linked to a single out-of-state exposure, and there has not yet been a public exposure. Measles is a dangerous illness, and can lead to pneumonia, brain damage and deafness.
