CDC Tracks Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Across 17 US States, 145 Cases Reported

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is monitoring a cyclosporiasis outbreak affecting at least 145 people across 17 U.S. states, resulting in 20 hospitalizations. The stomach infection, caused by the Cyclospora parasite, is believed to stem from contaminated food within the U.S., as no recent international travel was reported among those affected.
