Afula baby with measles hospitalized in critical condition

A one-year-old baby with meningitis and pneumonia is admitted to an Afula hospital in critical condition, complications from a measles infection.

The girl is undergoing treatment at the pediatric intensive care unit at the Emek Medical Center.

Last month an 18-month-old toddler in Jerusalem died of the disease, the first recorded death from measles in Israel in over a year.
