More and more outbreaks of measles are being reported in Canada and the United States. The resurgence of this disease, once thought defeated, has physicians and public health authorities worried.

Dr. Brian Rotenberg is an advisor with EvidenceNetwork.ca and an Associate Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery at Western University, London, Ontario.
