The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has added one measles-related death to its national online tracker, the first fatality the agency has acknowledged in connection with the U.S. outbreak in 2026. The CDC did not disclose when or where the death occurred.
The update comes as Pennsylvania reports that four people in the state have died from the disease, according to The Hill. The differing federal and state figures have created uncertainty over how the Pennsylvania deaths are reflected in the CDC’s national count.
