Mexia ISD updated its notice to the public about a possible measles exposure to say a school nurse confirmed it is a case of rubella.

A recent incident in Mexia, initially suspected to be a measles case and later thought to be rubella, turned out to be a false alarm but has raised concerns about both viruses and its potential spread.

A measles outbreak in West Texas has heightened concerns and misinformation, with confirmed cases rising to 146 as of Friday.

Mexia ISD first reported a case of the measles, then changed the report to rubella. Now state health officials tell 25 News there is no viral infection case.

"There have been no recent cases of Rubella in that area and also no cases of measles," said a spokesperson for state health leaders.

State health officials insisted on Friday that there have been no confirmed cases of rubella or measles in Central Texas. However, Brazos Valley health officials are calling a couple of false alarms in Mexia a wakeup call.

The Texas Department of State Health Services is trying to set the record straight about Mexia ISD, saying the school district incorrectly reported that it had a measles case and has no confirmed case of rubella.

As the measles outbreak in West Texas continues to grow, North Texas doctors say they’re fielding a growing number of questions from concerned parents. Dr. Christopher Dreiling, a pediatrician at Pediatric Associates of Dallas, said his office has had “dozens and dozens” of measles inquiries.

Officials at Legacy Traditional School – Cibolo said Thursday they had confirmed a measles case in a first-grade classroom. They later said the case was actually rubella.
