    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    With 177 new cases added today, the US measles count has climbed to 3,471, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in its weekly update has yet to acknowledge any of the four measles-related deaths recently reported by the Pennsylvania Department of Health (DOH), two in babies and two involving adults. Last year, the CDC confirmed that three people, including two children, died of measles. But this year, the agency has taken the unusual step of saying measles deaths must be conf

    The number of confirmed US cases of measles has reached 3,294, fully 1,000 more than all of last year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) noted in its weekly update today.

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The rapidly rising US measles outbreak grew to 2,777 cases today as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed 211 new infections in its weekly update. The increase is more than double that seen last week, when the agency added 101 cases to the total, after adding 94 the week before. Most of this week’s cases are in Pennsylvania and Ohio. The CDC noted 36 outbreaks, which might be an anomaly, as a week ago the agency had logged 38 for the year. Last year saw 48 measles outbre
