纽约州卫生厅周一表示，在该州持续爆发的麻疹疫情已感染170多人之际，一名儿童死于麻疹。
A child died of measles in New York amid an ongoing outbreak in the state that has infected more than 170 people, the health department said Monday.
据该县和州卫生厅联合发布的新闻稿，死亡病例发生在该州西北部的刘易斯县。卫生官员未提供关于该死亡病例的更多细节。
The death occurred in Lewis County, located in the northwestern part of the state, according to a joint press release from the county and state health departments. Health officials did not provide any more details of the death.
“这是纽约州30年来首例麻疹相关死亡病例，令人痛心地提醒我们，当华盛顿故意削弱数十年来保护美国人免受可预防疾病侵害的进展时，将面临何等风险，”州长凯西·霍楚尔在X平台发文称。
“This is New York’s first measles-related death in 30 years, a devastating reminder of what’s at stake when Washington deliberately erodes decades of progress in protecting Americans from preventable diseases,” said Governor Kathy Hochul in a post on It comes after neighboring Pennsylvania confirmed five deaths in an outbreak that has infected more than 1,430 people.
这起死亡病例发生在邻州宾夕法尼亚州确认一场感染1430多人疫情中出现五例死亡之后。首批死亡病例遭到卫生与公众服务部部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪质疑，引发了他与州长乔什·夏皮罗的政治争执。疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）仅确认了其中三例死亡，这打破了惯例，因为该机构正与一个外部流行病学家小组合作，以确定麻疹死亡的定义。
The first deaths were called into question by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., sparking a political fight with Governor Josh Shapiro. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has only confirmed three of the deaths in a break from precedent while the agency works with an outside group of epidemiologists to determine the definition of a measles death.
随着疫苗接种率跌破保护免疫缺陷人群及其他无法接种疫苗人群所需的水平，美国正经历数十年来最大规模的麻疹疫情。CDC记录显示，2026年全美45个州共报告4852例病例。如果该国持续传播同一毒株超过12个月，美国将于11月面临失去长期保持的麻疹消除地位的局面。
The US is experiencing its largest measles outbreak in decades after vaccination rates have fallen below the level that protects immunocompromised people and others who cannot get a vaccine. The CDC has recorded 4,852 cases in 2026 in 45 states. The US is poised to lose its long-held measles elimination status in November if the country records continued transmission of one strain for more than 12 months.
10月，针对麻疹病例上升，霍楚尔宣布进入紧急状态，调动资源以便州政府快速开展检测和疫苗接种工作。截至10月24日，该州已记录178例麻疹病例，其中包括纽约市的8例。
In October, Hochul issued a state of emergency in response to the rising measles cases, freeing up resources for the state to respond quickly for testing and vaccinations. The state has recorded 178 measles cases as of Oct. 24, including eight cases in New York City.
根据美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）的数据，麻疹、腮腺炎和风疹（MMR）疫苗接种两剂后预防感染的有效率为 97%。该公共卫生机构表示，每 1000 名感染者中将有 1 至 3 人死于麻疹。麻疹是一种高度传染性疾病，会导致流感样症状和遍布全身的独特红色皮疹。
The measles, mumps and rubella shot is 97% effective in preventing infection after two doses, according to the CDC. One to three infected people out of 1,000 people will die from measles, the public health agency says. Measles is a highly contagious disease that leads to flu-like symptoms and a distinct red rash that covers the body.
