Measles and Immune Amnesia<\/a><\/p>\nThey state: DOH continues investigating a recently reported death in Franklin County. To be considered measles-associated, DOH\u2019s epidemiological definition must meet the following criteria: <\/p>\n
\u00b7 Death must occur within 30 days of symptom onset in an individual with clinical evidence of a measles infection and a positive laboratory test<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Death must not be due to unrelated causes (e.g., motor vehicle accident)<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Additional information, such as whether an individual was exposed to a confirmed measles case prior to death or supporting medical records, are also considered. <\/p>\n
In order for a case to be classified as a measles-associated death, all criteria need to be met (e.g., symptoms plus a positive laboratory test). Additionally, a death occurring more than 30 days after symptom onset would not be counted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"State health officials reported 86 additional confirmed measles cases since Friday, bringing the total cases to 1,222 in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":306717,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,30,29],"class_list":["post-306716","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pennsylvania","tag-pennsylvania","tag-pennsylvania-headlines","tag-pennsylvania-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306716","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=306716"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306716\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/306717"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=306716"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=306716"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=306716"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
