Outbreak of potentially deadly measles has spread

Outbreak of potentially deadly measles has spread Two mothers have shared photos online of their measles-stricken babies who were both repeatedly misdiagnosed as a warning to other parents.

One woman revealed doctors missed her nine-month-old son had the highly infectious viral illness even when the tell-tale rash had 'spread like wild fire over his body'.

Both mothers urge families to be vigilant explaining their children's symptoms started off similar to those of a common cold.

This comes just days after officials confirmed to MailOnline that an outbreak of deadly measles has spread from the north west to the Midlands.

Last Friday, Public Health England (PHE) revealed there has been 17 confirmed cases in Leeds and eight in Liverpool, which also has three probable cases.

Manchester has been placed on high alert to be hit next and there are growing concerns it will spread across the UK following an epidemic in Europe.  The Daily Mail
