Pensilvania registra quinta muerte por sarampión mientras supera los 900 casos

Las autoridades sanitarias de Pensilvania dijeron que una mujer amish de 20 años que estaba recibiendo tratamiento contra la leucemia falleció por complicaciones relacionadas con el sarampión, lo que constituye la quinta muerte en el estado mientras el brote supera los 900 casos. Anteriormente, el Departamento de Salud de Pensilvania había informado que el número de infecciones había alcanzado los 903, con 176 hospitalizaciones y cuatro muertes confirmadas.

Los trabajadores de salud estatales y de los condados estaban realizando vacunaciones puerta a puerta y clínicas móviles en comunidades amish, y los médicos advirtieron que los hospitales estaban bajo presión por el aumento de casos. Los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades señalaron una segunda muerte por sarampión a nivel nacional, y los datos federales mostraron que Estados Unidos se acercaba a los 3 700 casos este año.
