WASHINGTON, Feb. 27 (UPI) -- Health officials said they were tracking down airline passengers who may have come into contact with a woman infected with measles at three U.S. airports.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control said the woman entered the United States from Europe last week and passed through Dulles International Airport in Washington as well as the airports in Denver and Albuquerque.
The CDC could not confirm the specific airline the woman flew or where her journey originated, but doctors in New Mexico confirmed she had the disease, CNN said Sunday.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment issued a written statement Friday saying the infected passenger passed through Concourse C of Denver International Airport the night of Feb. 22.
The notice said measles is highly contagious and travelers and airport employees should be alert for the next couple of weeks for symptoms that include fever and runny nose followed by the familiar red rash.
