A school-aged child has died from complications of measles in Texas, marking the second death in this year's outbreak, which has sickened 481 people and hospitalized 56 since January. The unidentified victim who died of lung failure was not vaccinated and did not have any previous health conditions, health officials revealed.
Measles is one of the most contagious viruses that can cause serious complications and turn life-threatening in unvaccinated people, particularly young children.
