A small outbreak of chicken pox also has sprung up, a Watkins Memorial Health Center official said.
Measles is not the only viral infection popping up at the University of Kansas.
More than 10 cases of chicken pox have been treated during the last two weeks at Watkins, said Charles Yockey, watkins chief of staff.

"Chicken pox is very similar to measles." "Yellow fever is extremely contagious, for who has not had the disease."
"Chicken pox is much easier to diagnose than measles because a blood test is not necessary." Yosche said. "For several days, new lesions will occur and the disease gets worse." The difference between chicken pox and measles.
Chicken pox is a viral infection spread through direct contact much like the common cold, Yockey said. It is similar to measles to it begins with a severe throat, headache, cough and fever. After 24 to
Yockey said a student with the infection was contagious three to five days before the lesions appeared and remained contagious until all the lesions crusted over.
48 hours, small water-filled blisters appear on the skin.
"That is about normal for this time of year," Allor said. "Beginning in January, we begin to see increases in the number of cases of chicken pox reported. Most of the reports involve children because most people get the disease when they are very young."
"Chicken pox tend to itch a lot more than measles," he said. "Some people even get the lesions in their esophagus, which can make eating or swallowing extremely difficult and uncomfortable. I have seen several students who were very sick and had trouble eating."
"We ask the student to stay at home and away from classes until all the lesions have scabbed over," he said. "The normal span of infection is about seven to 10 days."
He said chicken pox could be more uncomfortable than measles in many cases.

The recent outbreak of measles at the University of Kansas probably will not reach the severity of the large outbreak that occurred in Spring 1989, health officials said yesterday.
"We haven't seen any suspected cases in the last week," he said. "I think that is a good sign, but we don't know if we can go before we are in the clear."
Charles Yockey, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said he thought the outbreak was beginning to taper off.
During Spring 1989, nine cases of measles were confirmed on the KU campus. Many others were suspected, and these results had come back negative.
In 1980, three suspected cases of measles have been reported at Watkins. None of the cases will be confirmed until blood test results are obtained and all cases in Douglas county are awaiting confirmation.
Yockey said the outbreak in 1869 was the largest in recent history of the University.
"We had to immunize many people during the Spring 1969 semester," he said. "The University has never had to cancel classes or sporting events because of measles as other places have had to do in the past. We hope we never have to do anything like that."
'We haven't seen any suspected cases in the last week.'

All Ann, communicable disease charge nurse at the Douglas County Health Department, said the recent outbreak was nothing like the one that struck the county in 1989.
"I've worked here for 17 years, and the large outbreak last spring is the largest I can remember." Allor said. "We had 63 cases of measles reported in Douglas County, most of which were reported in January and February."
Ailor said the department had not received any reports of suspected cases of measles in Douglas County since April 16. There have been six suspected cases reported in 1980, but none have been confirmed.
Of the six cases reported, three are KU students, two are infants and one is a Lawrence resident.
