Connecticut

Connecticut is currently reporting active salmonellosis and cyclosporiasis, both clinically significant enteric infections that can cause acute gastrointestinal illness and may lead to dehydration and prolonged symptoms in some patients. Salmonellosis accounts for 400 confirmed cases with an increasing trend and 0 deaths (unchanged), while cyclosporiasis accounts for 94 confirmed cases with an increasing trend; no deaths are reported for cyclosporiasis in the available data. The concurrent increases indicate multi-pathogen co-circulation of food- and waterborne gastrointestinal pathogens with sustained transmission sufficient to drive rising case counts. Overall public health impact is assessed as medium, reflecting a substantial and growing morbidity burden without reported mortality to date.
