17 Confirmed Salmonella Saintpaul Cases in Chicago
The multi-state Salmonella Saintpaul outbreak associated with certain raw tomatoes has hit Chicago hard. According to the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH), since mid-April, 17 Chicagoans are known to have been made ill by Salmonella Saintpaul, 9 of them ate at Adobo Grill. Several additional cases of illness are awaiting laboratory results that may possibly connect them to the multi-state Salmonella Saintpaul outbreak.
According to the CDPH:
Fourteen of the 17 are ages 26-39. One patient is seven months old, another is one year old, and a third is 47 years of age.
Three of the 17 required hospitalization; but all were discharged and have recovered.
Most of the 17 live on the North and Near West Sides of the city. Five live in the West Town neighborhood; four in Lakeview; two in Logan Square, and one each in Lincoln Park, Near North Side, Near West Side, Irving Park, Rogers Park, and Roseland.
