Kansas health officials have confirmed another case of measles in the state.

Friday's confirmation came from the Finney County Health Department and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.

The adult resident over the age of 50 had recently traveled out of state, though officials have not yet determined if the case is connected to any known measles outbreaks in the U.S.

This brings the number of confirmed cases up to 25, with 22 of them in children. The majority of cases have been in southwest Kansas.
