RESIDENTS of Brisbane and Mount Isa could have been exposed to measles when a traveller returned from abroad with the disease, Queensland health officials say.
The traveller returned home from Asia on January 2 while still infectious with measles after picking up the disease overseas.
The infected person flew into Brisbane where they spent the day before flying to Mount Isa.
The Queensland Department of Health is urging anyone who was at the Brisbane International Airport abound 1am (AEST) on January 2 or in the the Brisbane CBD the same day to seek immediate medical advice if they feel unwell.
People at the city's domestic airport about 6am on January 3 or anyone who flew to Mount Isa that morning should also be on alert for symptoms.
Measles can be spread by droplets expelled during coughing or sneezing.
Early symptoms include fever, lethargy, a moist cough and sore and red eyes, followed a few days later by a red rash.
