Allegheny County health officials say the area has reported 35 cases of cyclosporiasis, with two people hospitalized. The latest count puts the county at nearly three dozen cases as public health authorities continue to review the situation.
According to the county health department, investigators are still trying to determine whether the local cases are connected to a broader multistate outbreak. That link has not been confirmed, and officials are awaiting more information before drawing conclusions.
The case total and the two hospitalizations have added urgency to the investigation. While the number of reported illnesses has drawn attention, the county has not yet said that the outbreak source for Allegheny County has been identified.
For now, the focus remains on tracking the reported cyclosporiasis cases in Allegheny County and clarifying whether they are part of the larger outbreak under review. Health officials are expected to continue monitoring the situation as more details become available.
