La enfermedad, que rara vez resulta mortal, dejó dos víctimas en el estado de Michigan

Michigan health officials reported two cyclosporiasis-linked deaths Monday, as total cases in the state surpass 11,000.

They are the first reported deaths linked to a massive outbreak of the intestinal illness that began in May.
