He had been exposed to another astronaut that had the measles. Because Ken had never had the measles the flight surgeon was concerned about Ken contracting the illness while in space. He therefore grounded Ken, prohibiting him from flying the Apollo 13 mission.
The first major problem occured before the flight; the Command Module (Ken Mattingly) pilot was grounded by flight doctors after being exposed to German Measles; Mattingly was not immune and it was considered too risky for him to fly. Mattingly was replaced by John Swigert. The most serious problem, of course, was the explosion of a fuel cell oxygen tank which made the service module too risky to use for the remainder of the mission.
The flight was commanded by James A. Lovell with John L. "Jack" Swigert as Command Module pilot and Fred W. Haise as Lunar Module pilot. Swigert was a late replacement for the original CM pilot Ken Mattingly, who was grounded by the flight surgeon after exposure to German measles.
