Cyclospora Bacteria

Cyclospora is a microscopic parasite that can affect the intestinal tract and cause diarrhea. It is an uncommon disease in the United States and is occasionally associated with foreign travel. Cyclospora infections can occur in people of all ages. Cyclospora is spread by eating or drinking contaminated food or water. Outbreaks in the United States have been associated with imported raspberries and with other fresh produce. Although the route of transmission is unclear, animals may additionally play some role in transmission.

Symptoms

The incubation period is generally one week after consumption of the contaminated food or water. Watery diarrhea is the most common symptom. It may last a few days to a month or longer. Other symptoms can include loss of appetite, weight loss, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue.

Diagnosis, Treatment, & Prevention

A stool test performed at a laboratory is needed to make the diagnosis. The immature stage of the Cyclospora parasite can be identified using specialized laboratory methods. Routine stool tests may fail to detect the parasite so health care providers must specifically request the laboratory test for Cyclospora when this infection is suspected in a patient. The recommended treatment involves a combination antibiotic called trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, also known as Bactrim or Septra. Individuals should avoid water or food that may be contaminated with stool or feces. All fruits and vegetables should be washed thoroughly.

I would like it known, to those concerned, what a wonderful job Benita Rollis did on my behalf concerning the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund claim. Her skill and compassion made my experience with Parker Waichman one that I will not soon forget. From the very beginning, Benita approached this whole process with the knowledge and logic of a true professional and someone who clearly loves what she does. Every time the VCF threw me a curve ball during this process, Benita knew exactly how to handle it, alleviating all fears. Also, the fact that she made herself so accessible was a major comfort. Parker Waichman is a better law firm because of Benita Rollis. I will most definitely recommend her to all who may be in need of your service. Thank you Benita and thank you Parker Waichman for helping me realize justice and absolutely changing my life as well as restoring my faith in the legal system!
