Pennsylvania has reported its sixth measles-associated death of the year, according to state officials.
The latest case involves a 39-year-old woman from Franklin County.
The county coroner said the woman had several underlying health conditions, including a previous measles diagnosis.
The Franklin County Coroner’s Office will not release additional details that could identify the woman who died.
“Our office is bound by laws that limit what can be shared publicly, and families deserve the dignity to mourn in private,” the release from the coroner’s office said.
Pennsylvania has now reported more than 1,100 cases linked to the outbreak.

Last week, Allegheny County confirmed its second measles case.
The Allegheny County Health Department confirmed on Friday that the second person does not live in the same house as the first minor who tested positive for the disease.
The ACHD confirmed both were students that went to the same school in the North Hills. The department previously told Pittsburgh’s Action News 4 there were no school exposures in relation to the first case.
