The CDC has documented over 2,700 cases in 2026, surpassing last year’s figures, primarily linked to outbreaks. Pennsylvania is currently experiencing the largest outbreak, with associated deaths reported, while Wisconsin’s outbreak is the most substantial since 1990. Georgia’s outbreak has recently been tied to a daycare facility.
