A dozen people in the areas around Hjo has been suffering from parasitic disease cryptosporidiosis. The source of infection is believed to be calves in a kosläpp two weeks ago.
– We have a class that has been on kosläpp where eight out of twenty-three children and a teacher has ill with severe abdominal pain, vomiting and watery diarrhea, said Deputy County Medical in West Bengal, Eva Lind houses Combos.
The disease is caused by the parasite Cryptosporidium that five years ago affected tens of thousands of people in Östersund.
According to the infectious disease physician’s theory is that the close encounter with calves that children become infected.
– In addition to the school class there are further infected. In total, we examine eight eight p.m. pieces to be eleven have demonstrated the infectious agent, says Eva Lind houses Combos.
How serious is the infection?
– It is a type of gastroenteritis in which you can have diarrhea for several weeks but one is immune healthy it will pass. Are the other hand, the immune compromised or have very young children then it can happen that you get a little worse, she says.
The infectious disease control in West Bengal is investigating the outbreak, but do not think that this time is about infection through drinking water, without the right of contact with calipers. But Deputy county medical Eva Lind houses Combos says that all water utilities in the area should be vigilant.
– The waterworks will be told that the infection is in the area.
