Two Minnesota children contract measles after traveling outside U.S.

Minnesota health officials say they've confirmed two cases of measles in Hennepin County. The two pre-school children developed symptoms shortly after returning from another country where the disease is common, the state Health Department said in a news release. The children, who are siblings, were unvaccinated, and one was hospitalized due to complications.
