LONDON - MICOM: Countries in Europe wary of the spread of the bacteria E.coli, after a case of death in Germany and Sweden, due to bacteria contamination.
A number of European countries issued a ban to import cucumbers from Spain, who allegedly contaminated bacteria E Coli.
Meanwhile in Britain, three people are infected with E coli bacteria with the same kind in Germany, as submitted by the local Health Protection Agency on Thursday (2 / 6).
To date, the number of people infected in the UK reached seven people. Three people were British citizens, and four others came from Germany. Patients suspected of bacterial infection in Germany and brought it to England.
Three of the seven patients suffered fatal complications due to the bacteria.
Health Protection Agency recommends that UK citizens who will travel to Germany does not eating cucumbers, lettuce or tomatoes, and should immediately get medical care if you have bloody diarrhea.
Several cases of E. coli bacterial infection found in some patients experienced the destruction of red blood syndrome.
Symptoms are similar to severe kidney complications that destroys red blood cells and also cause anxiety in patients.
Dr Dilys Morgan, Health Protection Agency, said: "Bacteria like that usually only occurs in children and elderly, but we see these conditions actually occur in young women.
Professor Hugh Pennington, a microbiology from the University of Aberdeen, said: "This deployment is not reasonable and did not appear to target children.
"Previously, children under five years of experiencing a difficult time if exposed to this bacteria." (BBC/OL-3)
