Cases of cyclosporiasis have been confirmed, with a range of 50 to 199 reported. These cases are linked to a multi-state outbreak. The outbreak is tied to recalled lettuce. A doctor's perspective is that the appearance of cases over time is a normal part of an outbreak.

Further details on the cases are available from the health department. A hospital has treated patients with cyclosporiasis, but the source of their illness is unclear.

The outbreak involves lettuce grown in a foreign country and distributed in the US, affecting multiple states, including one where between 50 and 199 cases have been confirmed since May 1.
