  "account": "A Pennsylvania woman has died from complications associated with measles, making it the third measles-related death in the state this year. The 40-year-old resident of Jefferson County passed away on Saturday, according to Jefferson County Coroner Greg Furlong. Furlong described the death as \"measles-related\" in a Facebook post, noting that the family is \"heartbroken\" by their loss. The cause of death remains unspecified in the post, and no further details will be released. Pennsylvania's previous measles-related deaths involved infants, with one infant dying shortly after birth due to a ruptured spleen and another 6-week-old girl who passed away due to measles complications. Both infants were too young to be vaccinated against measles, as the first dose is typically administered at around 1 year old. As of Friday, Pennsylvania had reported 676 measles cases in 37 of its 67 counties, with 124 involving hospitalizations and four cases among those who had been vaccinated against measles.",
