- 美国疾控中心数据显示，截至9月17日，美国境内累计报告3471例确诊麻疹病例，较一周前的3294例有所上升，全国统计中2026年暂无麻疹死亡病例记录。
- 宾夕法尼亚州卫生部门本周早些时候报告新增2例与麻疹相关的死亡病例，两名死者均未接种疫苗，该州与疫情相关的死亡总人数升至4人。
- 不过美国疾控中心并未将这两起死亡病例纳入统计。此前该机构已转变统计方式，改用美国国家卫生统计中心的死亡率数据来核算全国麻疹死亡人数，不再像以往那样依赖各州卫生部门上报的数据，这一调整引发了各方审视。
- 宾夕法尼亚州卫生部门周四向美国疾控中心寻求紧急援助以应对本州麻疹疫情，前提是疾控中心认可该州上报的4例麻疹相关死亡病例。
- 美国疾控中心表示，将在获取更多信息并完成相关审核后更新统计报告。
- 周三，美国参议院卫生委员会共和党主席将宾夕法尼亚州近期出现的麻疹死亡病例归咎于特朗普政府的疫苗政策。

Sept 18 (Reuters) – The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is working with the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists to develop a standardized case definition for measles deaths, the agency said Friday, as the outbreak grows across the country.

- The CDC reported 3,471 confirmed measles cases in the United States as of September 17, up from 3,294 a week earlier, with no deaths recorded for 2026 in its national tally.
- The Pennsylvania Department of Health earlier this week reported two more measles-associated deaths, both in unvaccinated individuals, bringing the state’s total outbreak-linked fatalities to four.
- The CDC, however, has not included the deaths after the agency shifted to using mortality data from the National Center for Health Statistics for its national measles death count, moving away from its previous reliance on state health departments — a change that has drawn scrutiny.
- The Pennsylvania health department on Thursday sought emergency support from the CDC to tackle its measles outbreak, on the condition that the agency recognize four measles-associated deaths reported by the state.
- The CDC said it would update its reporting as more information becomes available and relevant reviews are completed.
- On Wednesday, the US Senate health committee’s Republican chairman blamed the Trump administration’s approach to vaccines for recent measles deaths in Pennsylvania.
