CDC confirma primera muerte por sarampión en 2026 mientras brote en Pensilvania deja cuatro fallecidos

Los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC) confirmaron el 23 de septiembre que se había producido una muerte por sarampión en 2026, la primera registrada a nivel nacional ese año, mientras la enfermedad seguía propagándose en Pensilvania. Las autoridades de Pensilvania habían informado previamente de cuatro muertes vinculadas al brote: dos adultos no vacunados, dos bebés y un joven de 18 años que sufrió una complicación neurológica rara, elevando el número de casos a 792, la mayor cifra del país en 2026.

El gobernador Josh Shapiro y la secretaria de Salud Debra L. Bogen instaron al CDC a reconocer públicamente las muertes y a proporcionar ayuda de emergencia, advirtiendo que retirarían su solicitud de asistencia epidemiológica si la agencia no actualizaba su panel de sarampión.
