概要
The CDC reports that 94 percent of confirmed cases are associated with outbreaks, with 17 new outbreaks documented this year. Among all patients, 92 percent are unvaccinated or have unknown vaccination status. The outbreak is particularly affecting young people, with 73 percent of cases occurring in children and young adults up to age 19, and 21 percent in children younger than five years old.
King County health officials in Washington recently confirmed a measles case in an infant, marking the county's third case of 2026. The infant may have exposed others at multiple locations in the Seattle and Bellevue areas, including public transit, grocery stores, and medical facilities between April 3 and April 8. Anyone who visited these locations during the specified times should watch for symptoms including fever and rash through late April and contact their healthcare provider if symptoms develop.
According to CIDRAP, the hospitalization rate stands at 6 percent, with 96 patients currently hospitalized. Notably, no measles-related deaths have been confirmed this year, compared to three deaths during 2025. However, the United States is on pace to surpass last year's total of 2,286 cases by summer, and officials project the country will lose its measles elimination status—which it achieved in 2000—when data is assessed in November.
Beyond measles, federal health agencies continue investigating a Salmonella Newport outbreak that has sickened 68 people across the United States. The FDA launched the investigation in February and trace-back efforts remain ongoing to identify the source.
The World Health Organization also reported the first imported H9N2 avian flu case in Europe this week, involving a man who returned to Italy from Senegal. While the WHO characterizes current risk to the general population as low, continued monitoring of avian flu viruses worldwide remains a priority.
Health officials emphasize that most Americans are protected through vaccination. However, unvaccinated individuals who experience fever or rash should contact their healthcare provider immediately rather than visiting facilities in person without calling ahead.
