San Diego County health officials say six more children may have caught measles at a doctor's office where another infected child was treated.

Four other children are already known to have caught the virus in the county's first outbreak in 17 years.

The outbreak began last month when a child contracted measles during a family trip to Switzerland. The child returned to San Diego and infected two siblings.
