Day Care worker diagnosed with Cryptosporidiosis

A Wisconsin day care worker has been diagnosed with Cryptosporidiosis, the infection caused by the ingestion of Cryptosporidium, a parasite.  As reported by the Lake County Reporter:

At All About Learning in Oconomowoc, the staff member with Cryptosporidium is being treated with antibiotics and has already been allowed to return to work under physician approval.

"We don't know how she got it," said Heidi Krueger, director of the Oconomowoc center.

The staff member went to an emergency room Sept. 27 because of cramping and dehydration and with treatment was back to work the following Monday. The Oconomowoc center has also been in contact with the health department.

The news of the worker's illness coincides with a report that a child at an affiliated daycare has been diagnosed with an E. coli infection.
