US measles cases hit 1991 high
The United States has recorded 2,318 confirmed cases of measles so far this year, marking the highest level since 1991, surpassing the total cases in the previous year (2,289 cases). This comes amid the spread of more severe infections and weakened vaccination coverage, especially during periods of increased travel. Measles often spreads in crowded areas and places where unvaccinated individuals gather. The disease can cause symptoms such as fever, cough, and rash, and may lead to serious complications like pneumonia and encephalitis.
