CDC Probes 400-Plus Cyclospora Cases in 4 States as Source Remains Unknown

2 articles · Updated · CDC · Jul 14

More than 400 Cyclospora infections tied to a multistate outbreak have been reported to the CDC from Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky as of July 13.
Symptoms began on or after June 22, and investigators from the CDC, FDA and state agencies are interviewing patients about foods eaten before they got sick to pinpoint the source.
No specific food has been confirmed, and the CDC said the real case count is likely higher because some people are not tested and recent illnesses can take weeks to be linked.
The agency also flagged additional Cyclospora clusters elsewhere in the U.S., suggesting the outbreak may extend beyond the four states already identified.
