Pennsylvania issues alert on congenital measles—something US hasn't seen for decades

Pennsylvania's health department issued a health alert Monday as cases of measles in pregnancy and, in turn, cases of congenital measles have continued to increase. Before the current outbreak—which continues to rage across the state—congenital measles cases hadn't been seen in decades, the department noted in its advisory. The alert included detailed clinical guidance for managing measles exposures and cases during pregnancy as well as cases in newborns.
