A Lake County Health Department spokesperson told NBC Chicago a patient suspected of having measles in the northern Illinois county has tested negative for the virus.
Confirmation of a test result came just before 5:30 p.m.
No other information about thesuspected case was released, but it comes one day after several children who attend a day care facility in Palatine were confirmed to have the virus.
Those cases come on top of an adult case that was confirmed last week.
There so far is no link between the child and adult cases, and there is no link to the multi-state outbreak associated with Disneyland, which as of Thursday had grown to 87 patients.
