TEXAS: Officials investigating possible Crypto death - (cbs11tv.com)
July 31, 2008 – 7:07 pmDallas — Health officials believe the death of a 6-year-old North Texas girl could be linked to cryptosporidium. The parasite is found in human and animal fecese.
The girl died Tuesday after being hospitalized Monday. Her family says she tested positive for crypto after swimming in the Greenwood Hills Community Pool. However the Dallas County Medical Examiner has yet to release the official cause of death.
Since June 2008, the Dallas County Health and Human Services confirms there have been 41 cases of crypto.
“DCHHS is actively involved in the investigation of cases of diarrahal illnesses that may be associated with spray parks in Dallas County,” said Zachary Thompson, DCHHS Director.
