Hawaii health officials have confirmed a fourth case of cyclosporiasis in the islands. The latest patient was identified as a military service member based in Hawaii, according to the state Department of Health.
The new case increases the total number of confirmed cyclosporiasis cases reported in Hawaii. State health authorities announced the update today as they continue tracking the illness.
Officials also said the individual had traveled internationally. That detail could be important as the case is reviewed, although the brief report did not provide additional information about where the travel occurred or whether it was linked to the infection.
The latest confirmation adds to ongoing public health monitoring of cyclosporiasis cases in Hawaii. More details may emerge as the Department of Health continues its investigation and reporting.
