The infant’s parents are likely to have eaten raw meat at some point and then the baby’s belongings
In the Children’s ICU of the University General Hospital of Heraklion, 2 small children are hospitalized, who were infected by the salmonella microbe.
The event was revealed to Radio Crete by the Public Health Supervisor of the Region of Crete, Antonis Papadakis, who stated that the first case concerns an infant of just 5 months and the other a 10-year-old child.
According to him, the case of the 5-month-old infant shows that it is very likely that the germ was transmitted to the infant by a wrong move by the parents who may have touched raw meat or some other raw food with their bare hands and then the infant’s objects .
According to him, salmonella disease is more serious than norovirus disease (from which the cases of gastroenteritis in Gavdos also originate) and for this reason it was deemed necessary for the children to be hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit.
As the hygienist explained, the symptoms of salmonellosis are gastroenteritis, vomiting, diarrhea and inability to feed. The public health supervisor drew attention to parents about the salmonella microbe pointing out that movements inside the house especially when we have small children should be very careful.
