Cyclosporiasis Illnesses in the United States, 2023

The CDC reported that as of June 20, 2023, a total of 210 laboratory-confirmed cases of cyclosporiasis in people who had not traveled outside the United States during the 14 days before they got sick had been reported from 23 jurisdictions, including 22 states and New York City. Of 207 people with information available, 30 have been hospitalized. No deaths have been reported. While no specific food items have been identified as the source of most of these illnesses, broccoli is suspected for some of the illnesses. The total number of laboratory-confirmed cases reported since April 1, 2023, includes 20 cases in Georgia and Alabama linked to an outbreak associated with raw imported broccoli.  Although FDA and state and local partners conducted traceback investigations, there was not enough information to identify a specific type or producer of broccoli. @ https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/cyclosporiasis/outbreaks/2023/index.html
