Those who have not been vaccinated in New Mexico have been tested for measles positively, and state health officials said they would have died for the second time in Texas on Thursday.
Officials have not yet confirmed that measles is the cause of death, and he said he was not treated before he died.
This announcement has been a week since a child died of measles in Gainz County, Texas. I died for the first time in the United States in 10 years.
10 measles, six adults and four children were reported in NM’s LEA County, and the boundary of Gaines County, the epicenter of the onset of West Texas.
This outbreak was a trial by the fire of the new Health and Welfare Minister Robert F. Kennedy Jr. His ambiguous response was severely criticized by scientists, and he said he provided a muted support for vaccination and emphasized untested treatment for measles such as Daegu liver oil.
Instead of extensively praising the safety and efficacy of the vaccine, as the HHS secretary did, Kennedy said that the vaccination decision is “personal.”
All New Mexico events are associated with people who are not vaccinated or are unknown in vaccine. The new Mexico incident is officially not officially related to the onset of Texas, but officials said they were “doubt.”
As of Tuesday, Texas West Texas’s onset of measles was almost 160, and 22 people were hospitalized.
New Mexican health officials have urged residents to get measles, pandemic, and rubella vaccines, and experts say they are the best ways to protect this disease. The two vaccines prevents more than 97 % of measles infections.
Dr. Chad Smelser, a main epidemic scholar, said in a press release: “We don’t want to see the New Mexicans getting sick or dying in measles.
Measles viruses spreading when an infected person breathes, coughs, or sneezes, is very contagious. Each infected can spread the pathogen to 18 others.
People infected within one to two weeks after exposure can cause high fever, cough, runny nose and red eyes and water. Within a few days, the end rash first spreads on the face and red spots, and then spreads the neck and body to the rest of the body.
In most cases, these symptoms are solved in a few weeks. In rare cases, however, the virus causes pneumonia, which is difficult for patients, especially children to eat oxygen with lungs.
Infection can also lead to brain edema, which can cause persistent damage, including blindness, hearing impairment and intellectual disorders.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 or 2 children will die for each 1,000 children who receive measles.
Viruses are also weakened in the long run, which is more vulnerable to future infections.
In 2015, measles may have been responsible for half of all infectious diseases in children before the MMR vaccine was widely used.
