India, April 7 -- A second school-age child who was hospitalised with measles is the third measles-related death in the US since the virus started ripping through West Texas in late January. The child, a patient at UMC Health System in Lubbock, Texas, was unvaccinated and being treated for measles complications. A school-age child died of measles in Texas in late February, and New Mexico reported its first measles-related death in an adult on March 6.
