this year.

According to the C-D-C, the case involves an eight-month-old baby boy who
lives in northern Taiwan, who traveled with his family to Vietnam and
returned in late January.

The boy developed a fever, a persistent cough and other symptoms in early
February and was hospitalized last Friday after developing a rash.

The C-D-C says the infant's family members and 395 others suspected contacts
are now being monitored.

They will continue to be monitored until February 28.

The C-D-C has issued measles travel alerts for Vietnam, Indonesia, India,
Angora, Mexico, Yemen and Pakistan, and placed 30 other countries on its
watch list.

Health authorities are advising parents to ensure their young children
receive their measles, mumps and rubella vaccine.
