Evaluation of suspected Measles infection We are receiving questions regarding appropriate testing for patients in whom measles infection is suspected. Attac hed please find relevant information from the Minnesota Department of Health and the CDC regarding handling these suspect cases. From the Minnesota Department of Health (see attached PDF): If you suspect measles in a patient: Call MDH at 651-201-5414 or toll-free at 1-877-676-5414 Provide clinical details Collect specimens for PCR testing Health care facilities are required by law to report suspect cases of measles immediately to MDH. Call while the patient is still in the office to ensure timely reporting and correct specimen collection. Follow infection prevention guidelines to minimize measles transmission in health care settings. Information regarding how to order appropriate diagnostic testing through Allina Health Laboratories is also attached. Note that this testing is NOT performed at Allina Health facilities. RT-PCR testing is performed through the MN Department of Health and serological studies for measles IgM antibodies (indicative of acute infection) are available through Mayo Medical Labs. Per the CDC: Measles Diagnosis and Laboratory Testing Healthcare providers should consider measles in patients presenting with febrile rash illness and clinically compatible measles symptoms, especially if the person recently traveled internationally or was exposed to a person with February 2015
