NEW YORK (AP) —
Pennsylvania officials have reported a fourth measles-associated death.
The latest death involved an 18-year-old resident of Mifflin County, in the center of the state, the county coroner's office said in a Facebook post. The cause was acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, a rare and severe neurological complication of measles, it said.
Pennsylvania officials report state's 3rd death involving measles
On Saturday, a 40-year-old woman from Jefferson County, a rural area in western Pennsylvania, died of measles complications. And last month, two measles-infected infants died in Lancaster County, in the southeastern part of the state.
None of the four were vaccinated, according to the state health department. The infants were too young for vaccinations, according to current recommendations.
The U.S. is enduring its worst year for measles since 1991 and has seen seven reported measles-associated deaths in the last two years — more than the combined total of reported deaths over the previous three decades.
