Feb: One dead and seven hospitalized in Listeria outbreak
In February we reported that: One person has died and seven others have been hospitalized after an outbreak of Listeria linked to cheese.
Five of the illnesses (2 mother-newborn pairs and a newborn) were related to pregnancy and all patients are Hispanic.
Further investigation is needed to determine the source of the patients' illnesses, including whether they relate to food products that tested positive for Listeria, said the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
