U.S. records first two deaths from cyclosporiasis outbreak, the disease that causes "explosive diarrhea"

Health authorities in Michigan, United States, reported two deaths linked to a cyclosporiasis outbreak, marking the first fatalities associated with this intestinal disease. Cyclosporiasis causes severe diarrhea, nausea, fatigue, loss of appetite, and vomiting, and is transmitted through contaminated raw agricultural products or water. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has confirmed 6,707 cases nationwide, with over 11,500 suspected cases under investigation. In Michigan alone, there have been 11,234 total cases and 193 hospitalizations. Authorities are investigating whether the fast-food chain Taco Bell is connected to the outbreak, with suspicions pointing to contaminated lettuce sourced from Taylor Farms. Both Taco Bell and Taylor Farms have voluntarily removed certain products from the market as a precautionary measure.

Michigan reports the first two U.S. deaths related to a parasite that causes explosive diarrhea.

Un brote de ciclosporiasis ha causado dos muertes en Michigan, Estados Unidos, según anunciaron funcionarios de salud estatales. El parásito microscópico Cyclospora infecta los intestinos y se transmite a través de alimentos contaminados, especialmente frutas y verduras regadas con agua contaminada. Ambas víctimas tenían condiciones médicas preexistentes que podrían haber sido exacerbadas por la enfermedad y la deshidratación. Aunque los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC) indican que la ciclosporiasis raramente es mortal, el número de casos ha crecido significativamente en los últimos años, alcanzando más de 18.000 casos confirmados o sospechosos en el brote actual. Funcionarios federales están investigando posibles vínculos con lechuga importada de México.
