The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention said officials are working with health departments in at least five states with confirmed cases – California, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota and Wisconsin – to determine the cause of the condition after “a cluster of pulmonary illnesses linked to e-cigarette use” was reported among adolescents and young adults in recent weeks.
