LOS ANGELES, Nov. 12 (Xinhua) -- The United States has confirmed six measles-related deaths so far in 2026, twice the number reported in 2025, according to data updated Thursday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The CDC's death toll differs from figures reported by state health departments. According to state-level data, Pennsylvania had confirmed six measles-related deaths as of Nov. 9, while New York and Wisconsin had each reported one. State-level data indicate that the nationwide death toll is at least eight.
The CDC said it is working with the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists to develop a standardized case definition for measles-related deaths to promote consistent classification and reporting across jurisdictions.
According to the CDC, the United States had reported a total of 5,182 confirmed measles cases across 47 jurisdictions as of Nov. 5.
