In 2005, an outbreak of measles occurred that was traced to a student who had returned home to Indiana from a trip to Romania. At a gathering attended by the student, there were an estimated 50 people who lacked evidence of measles immunity, of whom 16 (32 percent) acquired measles. One health care worker also became infected, and severe respiratory distress developed, requiring ventilator support.
