After returning home from travel abroad last week, a newborn baby Houston He was admitted to the hospital with measles.
In Lamuel County, EdomeIn this month, a child became ill with measles after returning from a foreign trip.
The same happened with an adult in Okland County, MissingWhose vaccination was not known.
Although measles was eliminated in the United States in 2000, it still talks in many parts of the world. Experts say that with a decrease in vaccination rates throughout the United States, imported issues can have major results.
“Now each of these imported matters has been thrown into the jungle,” said Dr. Brian Ward, Associate Director of JD McLean Tropical Disease Center at McGill University. “Now the sensitive people of our communities are as if fuel accumulates in the jungle.”
Often, these are diseases “because the US resident goes out of the United States and exposes it and brings it back to the measles. And I think this is something that’s happening for a while, and we are definitely watching… one. The trend above Over the past two years, “Dr. Matthew Ferrari, director of the Centers for Infectious Diseases at Penn State University, said.
According to a CNN television, the outbreak spread over Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma is behind the majority of more than 400 US measles cases this year, but many reports have been received from related cases across the country.
Lara Anton, a senior press officer at the Texas Department of Health Services, said that the Texas Department of Health does not know how the first person in the outbreak came before the virus.
Although the agency says the person did not travel internationally, local officials believe that they could be brought to anyone else in the society.
Catherine Wells, director of the Libyak Public Health, said, “The previously reported cases that did not travel to children were probably suffering from infection by someone in their community. We do not know who can be brought into it, but it is probably from an international journey.”
The measles is extremely contagious and can stay lasting in the air for two hours after leaving the room’s room. Anton said that because of the way it can spread, the health department is not sure that officials will ever know how the spread began.
Measles is on the rise worldwide. Were even more than 12,500 cases According to the World Health Organization, reports were reported in January, and cases of February and March are still counting.
“There is measles everywhere. Unfortunately, we have not been able to eliminate measles globally,” said Dr. Carlos Dale Rio, an infectious disease specialist at Emuri University.
Last year, the number of cases in the European region, including parts of Central Asia, was the highest in 25 years. Report Last week was released by the WHO and the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
In 2023, 57 countries were influenced by the outbreak of the “big or disruption” measles, more than 36 in the previous year American centers to control and prevent diseases. They were primarily in Africa and the Mediterranean. There were 10.3 million measles infections globally, which has increased from 2022 to 20 % WHO.
Experts say the increase is going on through underworld, the problem has increased when the Kovide 19 pandemic diseases stopped many childhood prevention efforts. According to experts, underworlds are particularly relevant in dispute areas and underwater countries, but in other fields, declining vaccination is also seen.
“In the lower and middle -income countries,” the background of poor delivery and the lack of access to these areas suffering from social barriers is an additional burden of sensitive people. ” “Unfortunately, [there’s] Vaccine hesitant and refusal to vaccinate in wealthy countries.
Experts say instability levels around the world can have a serious impact.
“For the United States, measles is just a plane flight,” said Dr. David Hagens, a pediatrician at the University of Colorado Inshitz Medical Campus. “If an American who becomes unwilling and travels … wherever measles has increased somewhere in the world, he [could] Bring it back. … And I think we do not diminish the degree of disrupting measles vaccine around the world here.
Experts say controlling measles abroad – and consequently the number of imported issues in the United States – can be more difficult with a decrease in recent global health financing.
Director General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Gabrieus said that a network of more than 700 labs worldwide, which is responsible for identifying measles and rubella affairs, faces “Asan Shutdown”.
Ferrari says information from the Global Secret Robella Laboratory Network (GMRLN), which was financed by the United States, is often used to decide where the spread of measles resources should be designated.
“Americans’ health depends on our abilities to find out where the measles is, so that we can properly protect and care for travelers.” “If the measles monitoring ends, it will be difficult to stop the spread … which will lead to further measles found on the planet, and it will be difficult to know where those outbreaks are coming from, and it will be difficult to keep the measles away from the United States.”
According to experts, as the number of cases increases globally and within the United States, the need to control the virus increases.
Nozo said, “There is really no difference. Diseases do not take breaks, and they do not live. Therefore, in this case, in this integrated world, what happens in a country affects another country.” “Trying to protect the United States from measles, especially when we still have the status of our end, relies heavily dependent that they are overcome in other parts of the world.”
