Cleveland Clinic scales lab as cyclospora tests jump from 1-2 daily to 400

Cleveland Clinic's parasitology lab experienced a dramatic spike in cyclospora testing, jumping from one or two daily samples in June to a peak of 400 in a single day in mid-July. This surge, which has since stabilized at around 250 to 300 tests per day, has compelled the health system to significantly scale up its lab operations. The increase likely reflects a broader public health concern, highlighting the importance of robust diagnostic capabilities in managing infectious disease outbreaks.
