Summary
This massive outbreak of watery diarrhea among the residents of Milwaukee was caused by cryptosporidium oocysts that passed through the filtration system of one of the city's water-treatment plants, and water-quality standards and the testing of patients for cryptOSporidium were not adequate to detect this outbreak.
