La mayor\u00eda de los estados de Estados Unidos enfrentan un brote inusual de enfermedades gastrointestinales causadas por un par\u00e1sito transmitido por alimentos, inform\u00f3 el martes la principal agencia de salud del pa\u00eds. <\/p>\n
Seg\u00fan los Centros para el Control y la Prevenci\u00f3n de Enfermedades (CDC), se han registrado cerca de 7,000 casos confirmados o sospechosos de ciclosporiasis en 34 de los 50 estados. Esta infecci\u00f3n es provocada por un par\u00e1sito microsc\u00f3pico que se transmite al consumir alimentos o agua contaminados, generalmente productos frescos que no han sido lavados o cocinados adecuadamente. <\/p>\n
Gwen Biggerstaff, subdirectora de la Divisi\u00f3n de Enfermedades Transmitidas por Alimentos, Agua y el Medio Ambiente de los CDC, explic\u00f3 que los s\u00edntomas incluyen diarrea explosiva, p\u00e9rdida de apetito, fiebre y v\u00f3mitos. Adem\u00e1s, la Asociaci\u00f3n M\u00e9dica Estadounidense advierte que la infecci\u00f3n puede derivar en un s\u00edndrome recurrente, en el que los s\u00edntomas desaparecen y luego reaparecen. <\/p>\n
El aumento de casos comenz\u00f3 en mayo y actualmente se investiga el origen del brote. Biggerstaff se\u00f1al\u00f3 que la cifra actual es “mucho, much\u00edsimo m\u00e1s alta” que la registrada en a\u00f1os anteriores. <\/p>\n
En Michigan, estado donde se concentra la mayor\u00eda de los casos, las autoridades sospechan que la contaminaci\u00f3n provino de ensaladas y lechuga. Asimismo, la cadena nacional de comida r\u00e1pida Taco Bell est\u00e1 siendo investigada por las autoridades sanitarias, seg\u00fan inform\u00f3 The Washington Post. <\/p>\n
Este repunte ha reavivado las cr\u00edticas hacia los despidos masivos realizados el a\u00f1o pasado por la administraci\u00f3n Trump en las agencias federales de salud, que provocaron la salida de expertos y la reducci\u00f3n de una de las redes de vigilancia de pat\u00f3genos transmitidos por alimentos en los CDC. <\/p>\n
La situaci\u00f3n subraya la importancia de fortalecer los sistemas de vigilancia y control sanitario para proteger la salud p\u00fablica, especialmente en un contexto donde la seguridad alimentaria es fundamental para evitar brotes que afectan a miles de personas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
