The Hawaii Department of Health has confirmed two new travel-related cyclosporiasis cases in state residents. With the latest report, the total number of confirmed cases recorded in Hawaii this year has reached three.
According to the health department, the two newly identified patients were infected while traveling outside Hawaii. That means the latest illnesses were not tied to exposure within the islands, based on the information released so far.
The update adds to earlier reporting on cyclosporiasis cases involving Hawaii residents in 2024. Travel-related infections are often tracked separately because health officials look at where exposure likely happened when assessing any broader public health risk inside the state.
Health authorities continue to monitor confirmed cases and provide updates as needed. The newest report underscores that Hawaii residents can still be diagnosed after exposure during out-of-state travel, even when the infections are counted in Hawaii's annual case total.
