A Cyclospora outbreak has sickened more than 400 people across four U.S. states. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the true number of cases is likely higher while investigators search for the contaminated food source.
Cyclospora is a parasite often tied to contaminated produce. Multi-state outbreaks require traceback of distribution chains, which can lag behind clinical case counts.
CDC’s caution that reported illnesses undercount infections is standard when testing and reporting are incomplete. The four-state spread and 400-plus case figure are the confirmed elements in the cited summary.
