Meanwhile, the UN considers that more information is still needed to “to more accurately assess the severity associated with this episode, including data on symptoms”. “Given that the identification of the existing cases was carried out through cutting-edge molecular techniqueswhich are not routinely used in all countries, points to the possibility that a part of the cases remain undetected”, they warned.
So far, most cases have been reported in ten european nations (150 of 151), although an episode was also detected in USA. “The risk of the spread of the outbreak within the European Region of the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as globally, is assessed as moderate until information is available on the full recall of the implicated products”, they detailed.
On April 8, the company Ferrero closed its Kinder chocolate factory in Belgiumafter recall some lots of their “Kinder Mini Eggs” products from the market from several European countries, Argentina and the United States. The measure was taken after cases of salmonella were detected in Europe in people who consumed chocolates made in the Belgian country.
The symptoms of salmonellosis are characterized by the appearance of high fever, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and bloody diarrhea, as reported in most cases in the current outbreak. Although salmonella infections are usually mild and do not require treatment, children and older adults are at higher risk for serious complications from dehydration.
Lastly, they pointed out that salmonellosis prevention measures for the public are wash hands with soap and waterin particular, after having been in contact with pets or farm animals, or after going to the bathroom; make sure food is well cooked; drink only pasteurized or boiled milk; don’t drink ice unless it is made with potable water; Y thoroughly wash fruits and vegetables.
