30 states and the District of Columbia reported salmonella cases
Federal health officials said Wednesday that the number of illness cases has risen in last few days to 383 people. They have been contaminated with an uncommon form of salmonella since April. Some 30 states plus the District of Columbia have reported salmonella cases.
An official with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said around 48 of the victims, ages vary from younger than 1 to 88, have been hospitalized.
The CDC said, “No deaths have formally been blamed on the outbreak, but the infection may have been a factor to the death of a man in his 60s, who also had cancer, from Texas.”
