Summary
Nearly 400 cyclosporiasis cases have been confirmed in New York since May, with most infections in New York City and none reported in the Rochester area.
Health officials are tracing a nationwide outbreak tied to contaminated fresh produce, asking confirmed patients to detail foods they bought and ate to find common exposure sources.
More than 1,000 cases in Michigan and over 800 in Ohio make them the hardest-hit states so far, underscoring the multistate scale of the investigation.
Cyclospora infections usually rise in summer; the illness can cause severe diarrhea and vomiting, and doctors say persistent symptoms or dehydration warrant medical care.
