Abstract
During a measles outbreak in British Columbia in 2010, a patient with clinical measles, confirmed by a positive IgM on the same day, was admitted to the Children’s Hospital. The patient's room was later determined not to meet airborne isolation standards, leading to a series of patient and staff exposures over 24 hours.
