Patients say measles 'worse than expected' as Utah hits 350+ infections, doctors say ksl.com/article/51457971/patie…

Utah's ongoing measles outbreak now stands at 358 confirmed cases since last June, according to the Utah Department of Health and Human Services' latest report. Of those 358 confirmed cases in Utah, over 120 people have been hospitalized, 31 required overnight hospital care and three had to be placed in intensive care units, according to Nolen.

Nolen said she recently visited one of the communities in Utah, seeing high numbers of measles, to talk with people who have been infected about their experience with the virus. Though she didn't specify which area, Nolen said the people she spoke with told her that contracting measles was much worse than they expected. "It is not a mild infection, it is not a mild virus; it is a severe illness. And they kept on telling me they wish they'd known beforehand how bad measles was, so that they could have protected their family," she said.
