Abstract
Between June 1 and November 1, 1994, as part of an investigation of an outbreak of rubeola (measles), the Alaska State Health Department studied 57 persons with febrile illness accompanied by a rash. Efforts were made to obtain serum specimens from all persons with these symptoms during the investigation.
