The CDC said it “ruled out high-threat sources” including common medical products and tools and municipal water systems.
This is the first outbreak of Elizabethkingia anophelis the CDC investigated. It usually only sees 5 to 10 cases a year of any type of Elizabethkingia in each state, and rarely more than 2 cases at the same time.
