A child who was hospitalized with measles in Texas has died, state health officials said this week. It marks the first death in the state's latest outbreak — the largest such outbreak in close to 30 years — which has left at least 146 people infected.

The number of confirmed measles cases in western Texas grew to 146, and it is possibly spreading to the central part of the state and neighboring New Mexico, health officials said Friday.
