HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- According to the State Health Department, there are at least 92 measles cases, including two in Houston.

The biggest concern is an outbreak in West Texas, where 90 cases are. We know 85 cases are unvaccinated or have unknown vaccination status.

In January, the Houston Health Department confirmed that the two measles cases were connected to unvaccinated adults' international air travel. The department's website lists possible exposure locations.

Dr. Janeana White with the Houston Health Department said the first person was hospitalized and recovered, and the other person was monitored and is okay. Right now, the city is working to inform the public and working closely with neighboring health departments to raise situational awareness.
