Some symptoms, such as diarrhea, can return, and some symptoms, such as muscle aches and fatigue, may continue after the gastrointestinal symptoms have gone away. Infection is not usually life-threatening. Reported complications from Cyclospora infection are rare, but have included malabsorption and cholecystitis. Some people with Cyclospora infection experience no symptoms at all, particularly persons living in areas where the disease is endemic.
