Michigan state health officials have reported that two individuals have died following a cyclospora outbreak in the state. These individuals had significant underlying health conditions, which may have been complicated by the illness caused by the microscopic parasite. The health department noted that these conditions could have been exacerbated by intestinal illness and dehydration.
Authorities have stated that no additional details regarding these specific cases will be disclosed at this time.
