Autoridades de NYC investigan aumento de ciclosporiasis mientras disminuye brote de lechuga

El 20 de agosto de 2026, funcionarios de salud de la ciudad de Nueva York declararon que estaban investigando un aumento de más de 800 casos de ciclosporiasis reportados en el estado desde mayo y aconsejaron a los residentes lavar y cocinar bien los productos mientras el origen del brote seguía sin identificarse. Con anterioridad, un brote multirregional vinculado a la lechuga iceberg de Taylor Fresh Farms, proveniente del centro de México, había infectado a más de 9 400 personas en 17 estados, constituyendo el mayor brote de este tipo en la historia de EE.  UU.

Posteriormente, los CDC confirmaron la expansión a Maine y Massachusetts, elevando a 17 el número total de estados afectados. Las autoridades de salud de Massachusetts reportaron 147 casos confirmados en laboratorio mientras continuaba el retiro del producto. Los CDC habían informado previamente de más de 24 000 casos en 47 estados, con una desaceleración del aumento semanal, y expertos señalaron que el riesgo asociado a la lechuga era ahora bajo, aunque recomendaron mantener la vigilancia.
