Measles Outbreak in South Carolina Leads to Brain Swelling in Children

A measles outbreak in South Carolina has taken a serious turn, with some children developing encephalitis, or swelling of the brain, according to state epidemiologist Linda Bell. The outbreak, which began in October, has seen a surge in cases, climbing to 876 as of February 3, with 700 of those reported since the start of the year, according to Wired.

The rise in cases in South Carolina mirrors a potential nationwide trend. The United States experienced more than 2,267 measles cases in 2025, the highest number in 30 years, according to Wired. Declining vaccination rates across the country are believed to be a significant factor driving the resurgence of the disease.

Encephalitis is a rare but severe complication of measles. According to Wired, it can lead to convulsions and cause deafness or intellectual disability.
