   (Reuters) - California has confirmed more cases of measles in   
   people who visited Disneyland or its adjacent California   
   Adventure park last month, health officials said on Monday,   
   raising the number of infected people to 26.   
      
   A total of 22 cases in California have been linked with visits   
   to the Anaheim parks between Dec. 15 and Dec. 20, including one   
   that arose from direct contact with an infected person, the   
   California Department of Public Health said.   
      
   Additionally, two cases have been confirmed in Utah and one case   
   has been confirmed in both Colorado and Washington state, the   
   department said.   
      
   Four other possible measles cases are currently under   
   investigation, the department said, adding that six of those who   
   were sickened were eventually hospitalized.   
      
   Walt Disney Parks and Resorts officials have said that the   
   company is working with the California health department to   
   provide information and assistance.   
      
   Measles is a sometimes deadly viral disease that typically   
   begins with fever, cough, runny nose and red eyes, and is   
   followed by the appearance of a red rash that typically starts   
   on the face and spreads downward.   
      
   There is no specific treatment and most people recover within a   
   few weeks. But in poor and malnourished children and people with   
   reduced immunity, measles can cause serious complications   
   including blindness, encephalitis, severe diarrhea, ear   
   infection and pneumonia.   
      
   In 2013, more than 70 percent of global measles deaths were in   
   six countries - India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Ethiopia, Indonesia   
   and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
