Eight children treated by the ambulance
In a holiday village in the Limbach-Oberfrohna (Zwickau district) in Saxony, eight children complained of diarrhea, vomiting and circulatory problems and had to be treated by the emergency doctor. The Rettungszweckverband "Südwestsachsen" reported that the patients could be stabilized to the point that they could go home and did not have to be treated in the hospital. According to the district office of the district of Zwickau, the cause of the complaints is still unclear. The agency did not comment on whether the contagious Noro virus was the trigger. Previously, the Internet portal "Mopo24" wrote about a "Norovirus Alaram". The small patients were part of an 18-person group from Dresden.
Quick suspicion of dangerous viruses
The suspicion of such pathogens is usually expressed quickly when several people at the same time suffer from complaints such as diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. A similar case occurred in Brandenburg a few days ago. However, the local authorities had given the all-clear quickly and explained that there were no Salmonella or Noro viruses in the holiday camp near Königs Wusterhausen, which led to the fact that 33 children and six caregivers fell ill. Noroviruses are highly contagious and therefore responsible for much of the non-bacterial gastrointestinal infections in children and adults. (Ad)
