CDC派员赴宾州支援麻疹疫情调查：州方报告今年1,136例、5例死亡，联邦确认口径不同
华盛顿10月13日——据路透社10月13日报道，美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）当天表示，将向宾夕法尼亚州增派人员，支援当地调查正在持续的麻疹疫情；宾州已通过 CDC 的 Epi-Aid 紧急响应机制正式提出联邦协助请求。
数字口径存在分歧：宾州卫生官员报告，截至10月9日，该州今年已报告1,136例麻疹病例、5例与疫情相关的死亡；而 CDC 确认的2026年全美麻疹相关死亡为2例，且未公布具体州别。两种计数方式的差异，已引发宾州州长乔什·夏皮罗与卫生与公众服务部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪之间的公开争议，焦点是麻疹相关死亡应如何定义与统计。
CDC 表示，增派团队将与地方卫生官员合作，开展疫情调查、加强响应并防止传播；联邦支援人员将在宾州卫生部门的统一协调下，协助州与地方卫生部门开展病例追踪、实验室检测与疫苗接种等工作。该机构同时举例称，德克萨斯、南卡罗来纳、弗吉尼亚、堪萨斯、新墨西哥与威斯康星等州此前都曾申请 Epi-Aid 并与联邦团队合作控制疫情。另据报道，纽约州州长凯西·霍楚尔上周已就该州麻疹疫情宣布全州灾难紧急状态，并表示将寻求联邦协助。
宾州卫生部门表示，疫情应对仍在继续，呼吁居民核查自身麻疹疫苗接种记录，未接种者可联系当地医疗机构补种。

CDC Deploys Added Support to Pennsylvania as Measles Cases Reach 1,136 in State Count
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 — The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Tuesday it would deploy additional support to Pennsylvania to help investigate the state's ongoing measles outbreak, after Pennsylvania formally requested federal assistance through the agency's Epi-Aid emergency response program, Reuters reported.
The counts differ between the state and federal governments. Pennsylvania health officials have reported 1,136 measles cases and five deaths linked to the outbreak this year as of October 9, while the CDC has confirmed two measles-associated deaths nationwide in 2026 without identifying the states involved. The differing definitions have fueled a public dispute between Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over how measles-associated deaths should be defined and counted.
The CDC said its teams would work with local health officials to investigate the outbreak, strengthen response efforts and prevent spread; the federal personnel will work under the coordination of the Pennsylvania health department, assisting state and local health departments with case investigation, laboratory testing and vaccination. The agency noted that Texas, South Carolina, Virginia, Kansas, New Mexico and Wisconsin previously requested Epi-Aids and worked with federal teams to bring their outbreaks under control. New York Governor Kathy Hochul last week declared a statewide disaster emergency over that state's measles outbreak and said New York would seek federal assistance.
The Pennsylvania health department said the response is continuing and urged residents to check their measles vaccination records, adding that unvaccinated people can arrange shots through local providers.
