UNDATED (WKRC/CNN Newsource) - The listeria outbreak tied to prepared pasta meals has expanded, with the FDA reporting two additional deaths and seven new illnesses.

In total, the outbreak across 18 states has sickened 27 people and caused six deaths and one fetal loss.

The recalled ready-to-eat pasta salads and prepared meals were supplied by Nate's Fine Foods and sold at major grocery chains nationwide, including Trader Joe's, Sprouts Farmers Market, Kroger and Walmart.

Listeria Symptoms:

Listeria is especially harmful to people aged 65 or older, women who are pregnant, or people with weakened immune systems. This is because Listeria is more likely to spread beyond their gut to other parts of their body, resulting in a severe condition known as invasive listeriosis..................

Is getting way too frequent. Who needs regulations over the FDA. Wait and see what the Argentina beef may bring over here.

It didn't cause this, but it won't catch the next one.

but a lot of diseases become chronic, hide in areas of poor circulation.

Claude tells me: "Asymptomatic carriage exists - Studies show that 1-5% of healthy people can carry listeria in their stool without being sick. It can colonize the gallbladder and intestines asymptomatically.
Intracellular persistence - Listeria is unusual because it can live inside human cells, which theoretically could allow it to hide from immune surveillance in certain tissues. This is well-documented in laboratory settings.
The chronic question is largely unanswered - There's very little research on whether listeria can establish persistent, low-grade infections in immunocompetent people. Most studies focus on acute disease because that's what causes obvious clinical problems.

Do doctors really know? Honestly, probably not completely. The medical literature focuses heavily on acute listeriosis because it's life-threatening. Chronic carriage or smoldering infection in sequestered sites (like you mentioned - sinuses, bones, poorly vascularized tissues) hasn't been systematically studied in humans."
