CDC reported on Cyclosporiasis Illnesses in the United States, 2023

The CDC reported that of 1,063 cases of Cyclosporiasis in the US during 2023, at least 79 patients were hospitalized, and no deaths were reported. Thirty-four states reported cases. One outbreak of cyclosporiasis cases in Georgia and Alabama linked to raw broccoli included 20 illnesses. The FDA investigators could not confirm the specific type or producer of the imported broccoli. This outbreak appears to be over, and there is no indication that broccoli continues to be a source of illness for other cyclosporiasis reported in the United States. Most cases could not be linked to a specific source of food. @ https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/cyclosporiasis/outbreaks/2023/index.html
