CNN, NBC News and ABC News report that Wisconsin’s health department said Thursday an infant has died of measles, the state’s first measles-related death since 1990. A coroner listed measles as the immediate cause of death, and the department will not release further details about the child to protect the family’s privacy. The outlets say Wisconsin has recorded 431 cases in 13 counties this year. Pennsylvania and New York reported deaths earlier in the week, and NBC News and ABC News cite state health department data showing eight US measles deaths this year.
