The number of people infected with cyclosporiasis in the US continues to rise, surpassing the 2019 record for the number of cases. A preliminary investigation in Michigan, which has the highest number of cases, suggests that the current infection may be related to contaminated lettuce or salad. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on the 14th that since May 1, 34 US states have confirmed a total of 1,645 locally infected cases, and more than 5,100 cases have yet to be confirmed as locally; about 141 people have been hospitalized, and no deaths have been reported yet. According to US sources, the total number of cases of Cyclosporus infection in the US this year has already surpassed the national record of about 4,700 cases in 2019, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data usually lags behind the data released by local health departments in real time. In addition, some mildly infected people have not sought medical treatment, so the actual number of infected people may be higher.
