The US has hit 800 measles cases across 24 states, with Texas the epicenter of the outbreak, the CDC said Friday.
A rash of West Texas cases that started nearly three months ago now accounts for 597 of the total count, having also already claimed the lives of two unvaccinated elementary school children.
The surge marks an increase of 36 cases in Texas since April 15, the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) said Friday.
And 371 cases have been reported in Gaines County, where the outbreak sprouted, according to the state Department of State Health Services.
An unvaccinated adult in New Mexico has also died of a measles-related illness, according to health officials.
