# Ne oldu?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) homepage has been updated with four new reports covering a range of public health surveillance topics. The most recent additions, posted in late June and July 2026, include real-time disease modeling, medication dispensing trends, and clinical outbreak investigations.

Measles Nowcasting – South Carolina: The report "Use of Nowcasting to Estimate Real-Time Transmission Trends During a Measles Outbreak — South Carolina, October 2025–March 2026" describes a nowcasting approach used to estimate the effective reproduction number (Rt) in real time during a measles outbreak. The method allowed public health officials to track transmission dynamics as the outbreak unfolded, providing a timely complement to traditional reporting lags.
Buprenorphine Dispensing – Emergency Departments: "Buprenorphine Dispensed by Pharmacies and Administered in Emergency Departments in Urban and Rural Areas — United States, 2019–2025" presents national data on buprenorphine prescriptions filled by pharmacies and administered in emergency departments. The analysis covers urban and rural differences and trends over the seven-year period, offering insight into outpatient medication access for opioid use disorder.
Invasive Mold Disease Surveillance: "Active Surveillance for Invasive Mold Disease — Four Hospitals, Atlanta, Georgia, 2020–2024" summarizes surveillance findings from a multi-hospital network in Atlanta. The report details the incidence and characteristics of invasive mold infections captured through active hospital-based surveillance over a five-year period.
Measles Outbreak in Child Care Facility: "Measles Outbreak in a Child Care Facility — Lubbock, Texas, March–April 2025" reports on a confirmed measles case in a Lubbock child care setting. The Notes from the Field investigation describes the scope of the outbreak and the public health response measures implemented to control transmission.

These reports represent current, real-world data from CDC surveillance systems. The measles nowcasting method offers a faster way to measure transmission during outbreaks, which can inform isolation and vaccination decisions. The buprenorphine data tracks access to medication-assisted treatment across different community types. The mold surveillance provides a long-term view of invasive fungal disease trends in a specific health system. The child care outbreak report adds to the literature on measles transmission in congregate settings and the effectiveness of response protocols.
# Sırada ne var?
The MMWR homepage continues to serve as the primary gateway for weekly and monthly disease surveillance publications from CDC. Upcoming reports typically cover notifiable disease trends, vaccine safety data, and Notes from the Field investigations. Public health practitioners and clinicians are encouraged to check the MMWR site regularly for the latest data and guidance.
