SEATAC, WA - A man with a confirmed case of measles recently traveled through Sea-Tac Airport, and health officials are warning other travelers may have exposed to the highly contagious disease. The traveler flew to Sea-Tac from Asia, according to health officials.

The man, who lives in King County, was wearing a surgical-type mask when he arrived at Sea-Tac. That protection may have helped limit any spread of measles, according to health officials. "Measles is a highly contagious and potentially severe disease that causes fever, rash, cough, and red, watery eyes. It is mainly spread through the air after a person with measles coughs or sneezes," King County Public Health wrote in a bulletin about the measles case.

"Measles symptoms begin seven to 21 days after exposure. Measles is contagious from approximately four days before the rash appears through four days after the rash appears. People can spread measles before they have the characteristic measles rash." Here's where the measles patient traveled in the area:

Sea-Tac Airport, international arrival area, customs/immigration, and the baggage claim area during this time period: Aug. 21, 12:45 p.m. to 3:50 p.m.

Harborview Medical Center Emergency Department: Aug. 21, 2:20 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. If you think you were exposed or are experiencing symptoms, contact your doctor or seek medical attention.
