GENEVA (Reuters) - A measles epidemic in the Democratic Republic of Congo has killed 5,000 people this year, many of them young children, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Thursday. Low immunization rates and high levels of malnutrition have fueled the epidemic and high mortality rates, especially in North Kivu province, which is also reeling from an Ebola epidemic, it said. “Since the start of 2019, more than 250,000 suspected (measles) cases and over 5,000 deaths mostly among children under 5 years, have been recorded,” th... ...
SYDNEY (Reuters) - Samoa closed all non-essential public and private services on Thursday to combat a measles epidemic that has killed more than 60 people, mostly babies and young children, in a medical task complicated by a vocal anti-vaccination movement.

The government-imposed shut-do... ...

It called on donor nations and governments in c... ...

New research finds that raised levels of a protein called troponin are a "highly clinically meaningful" indicator of death risk, regardless of age or underlying cause.
