Travellers to the US city of Milwaukee have been warned of a possible measles outbreak
A second case of measles has been reported from the US city of Milwaukee.
According to Milwaukee Health Department officials, the second confirmed case involves an adult who came into contact with the first case of infection, which was reported more than a week ago from a family of recent immigrants.
