Measles likely to hit KC again, doctors warn

With a measles outbreak that started at Disneyland in California spreading across the nation, doctors in Kansas City are readying themselves for the possibility that the highly contagious disease will make its second appearance in the metro area in less than a year.

"We have a volatile situation," said Mary Anne Jackson, chief of infectious diseases at Children's Mercy Hospital. "I think it's just a matter of time before it's here."
