摘要
宾夕法尼亚州麻疹疫情持续扩大，累计病例已超过1000例，成为美国自2000年宣布消除麻疹以来规模最大的一次疫情，也是1991年以来最大规模。截至当日下午，2026年共报告1078例，其中1066例出现在4月疫情暴发后。病例中已有207人住院、5人死亡，死者均未接种疫苗，包括两名年龄过小无法接种的婴儿。
Pennsylvania's explosive measles outbreak is now the largest the US has seen since the highly infectious virus was declared eliminated in 2000. With well over 1,000 cases, it's the largest on record since 1991.
Pennsylvania's health officials reported 1,078 measles cases in all of 2026 as of this afternoon. That includes 12 cases in January and March, with the remaining 1,066 cases since April, when the current outbreak began. The tally includes 145 cases recorded in the last seven days and 74 identified since the previous update on Monday. Health officials noted that 40 of the 74 cases added today were from more than two weeks ago and are just now being recorded.
Among the cases, there have been 207 hospitalizations and five deaths—a newborn, a 6-week-old, an 18-year-old, a 20-year-old, and a 40-year-old. All of the deaths occurred during the current outbreak in people who were unvaccinated; the two infants were too young to have been vaccinated.
