US facing second measles surge this year as outbreak accelerates in South Carolina (www.cnn.com)

As multiple measles outbreaks simmer across the United States, cases are accumulating nearly as quickly as when the West Texas outbreak was at its peak this spring.

There were 84 new measles cases reported in the past week nationwide, according to data posted Wednesday by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That’s more cases than have been reported in a single week since April, when there was an average of about 100 new cases per week.

Texas hasn’t reported any new measles cases since state officials declared that the outbreak there was over in mid-August.

Now, case counts are growing quickly in South Carolina, where state health officials say more than 250 people are in quarantine after possible exposure and 16 are in isolation because of illness. Some of them are in quarantine for a second time because they did not acquire additional protection — through vaccination or natural immunity from an infection — since the first exposure, state epidemiologist Dr. Linda Bell said at a briefing Wednesday.
