The Wisconsin Department of Health Services reports the death of an infant associated with the ongoing measles outbreak in southwestern Wisconsin.
This is the first death of this kind reported in Wisconsin since 1990.
The coroner listed the immediate cause of death as measles.
Measles can cause life threatening complications, including pneumonia and swelling of the brain.
Although anyone can become seriously ill, children younger than five years old, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems are at increased
risk of complications.

This reflects the highest number of cases seen in the state in more than 35 years.
Nine people have been hospitalized for severe symptoms.
Green Lake County has confirmed five cases of measles.
The cases are linked to a laboratory confirmed case in another Wisconsin County.
All confirmed and suspected cases so far have been among people who were not vaccinated.
against the measles.
Known exposures have been limited to private gatherings and no public exposure cases have been identified at this time.
Greenland County Health is continuing to investigate the cases, identify the people who may have been exposed and notify them directly.
People who are at most risk are those who are not vaccinated or don't know their vaccination status.
If you're unsure you are vaccinated against measles, contact your health provider or check Wisconsin Immunization Registry.

Measles is a highly contagious, vaccine-preventable disease.
Symptoms of measles typically appear 10 to 12 days after exposure, with a range of 7 to 21 days.
Symptoms include a runny nose, high fever, tiredness, cough, red watery eyes, or pink eye, and a red rash with raised bumps that starts at the hairline and moves to the arms and legs.

Envisioned Greater Fondalax Vice President of Membership and Resources Development says, the Make My Move incentive program is already seeing success.
Bob Nelson has more for Civic Media News.
Make My Move is a national platform for attracting talented people to the workforce.
The program pays incentives to those willing to move across state lines and take a job in a Fond du Lac County community.
A state grant and local share is allowing Envision to pay those incentives.
Jovan Heisen says 17 people have already signed up for the program and over half took new jobs in the county.
And so we've had folks that have located to Fondle Act, to Ripon, to Campbell's Port, taking jobs with employers that we all would recognize.
And it's been an awesome economic impact.
A total of $9,500 in incentives comes with making the move, but Ben Heisen says not all of that is upfront.
Now that's a little deceiving because it comes in stages.
Half of that is a cash incentive to offset your relocation costs.
And that's actually paid part upfront and then part after one year of living here.
More information about the Make My Move program can be found on the InVision website.

Community partners are announcing a coordinated disaster recovery effort to help residents affected by recent severe weather.
Over the past year, some residents in the Fox Valley were hit with flooding in the spring and a tornado in July.
Emergency management, nonprofit and faith-based partners held a news conference Thursday to talk about their new initiative to help.
The group has formed with the three emergency management teams and about 50 local nonprofits.
It's focused on bringing support to families that were impacted by the spring flooding and July tornado that hit the Fox Valley area.
The funding to address needs is being done by each organization individually, asking who can help with the roof, downed trees, or even emotional and spiritual care as well.
The committee will have a dedicated spot at the Disaster Relief Center on the former UWO Fox Cities
campus.
FEMA has met with over 250 people regarding AIDS since the center opened and it won't stop anytime soon.
The committee has an unmet needs form that those impacted by the floods and tornado can fill out.

Police say they now know where the rogue drone came from that interrupted the Packers game last week, but that's about all they're saying.
The drone paused the action in the third quarter of the Packers home game against the Panthers last Thursday night.
Both teams were pulled off the field with the Packers facing third and one while the network took a commercial break.
The announcers said there was a rogue drone inside the stadium.
After the break, the Packers resumed their drive, scoring a touchdown in the first play back.
Green Bay Police say they've identified an operator connected to that drone but didn't release a name in their update yesterday.
They say they're working with the FBI, FAA, and U.S.
Attorney's Office in reviewing the matter.
Police also shared a link to FAA drone restrictions for stadiums and sporting events.
With the holidays just around the corner and Wisconsin's first
death related to measles, state health officials say it's more important now than ever to protect yourself from this highly contagious disease.
Ryan Westergaard is an infectious disease doctor with UW Health in Madison.
Westergaard says the baby who died was less than a year old.
It's the first measles-related fatality in our state in more than three decades.
Right now the health department has 431 confirmed cases of measles in 13 counties across the state.
Westergaard says while that may not seem like a lot considering the state's population,
It's important to remember what it was like before we had a measles vaccine.
In the era before vaccines, the percentage of people who get infected with measles was approximately 100%.
It's so effectively transmitted.
And when that happens, the number of severe cases and hospitalizations and death was not rare.
It was very common.
So a disease that can spread that quickly can't go from a small problem to a big problem very quickly.
Columbia and Green Lake counties are the latest to report confirmed cases of measles.
Fondalek police say they may have stopped a mass shooting after receiving a tip that a 15-year-old was making threats to that effect online.
The investigation began late last month after a tipster from overseas reported concerning online interactions with the teen to the FBI's National Threat Operations Center.
Detectives searched the teen's home the next day, seizing several guns, a computer, and a cell phone.
Authorities took the teen to the Fondalek Secure Detention Facility on charges of terrorist threats and disorderly conduct.
Because the case involves a minor, police aren't releasing identifying details.
