Health officials in Shelby County say 11 cases of cyclosporiasis have now been confirmed as an investigation continues in the Memphis area. The update was announced Wednesday and points to an active public health review of the reported infections.
According to the information released so far, four of the confirmed cases were tied to international travel. The remaining cases were not fully detailed in the available report, indicating that officials are still working through the source and circumstances surrounding the illnesses.
Cyclosporiasis is a parasitic infection, and confirmed cases typically trigger follow-up work by local health agencies to determine whether there are any shared exposures or broader risks to the public. In this situation, Shelby County health officials are continuing to monitor the cases as the investigation develops.
The latest case count gives residents in Shelby County and the wider Memphis area a clearer picture of the scope of the outbreak under review. Further updates are expected as health authorities gather more information about how the infections occurred.
