In Dong Nai, a 14-year-old child was poisoned after eating Bang bread, resulting in a positive test for Salmonella bacteria. The boy’s symptoms of fever, diarrhea with green liquid stools, and abdominal pain were confirmed by Children’s Hospital 2 (HCMC) on the evening of May 6. The doctor diagnosed the child with a bacterial intestinal infection and prescribed antibiotics and supportive medications. Fortunately, the baby’s symptoms have improved.
Salmonella is the leading cause of diarrhea worldwide, responsible for many large-scale poisoning cases due to its ability to enter human bodies through contaminated food and water. If left untreated, Salmonella can lead to dehydration, low blood pressure, multi-organ failure, and even death. It is essential to take precautions when consuming food products like meat, poultry, eggs, raw fruits and vegetables to prevent Salmonella infection.
Recent cases in Dong Nai have underscored the dangers of foodborne illnesses. Hundreds of people have been poisoned after eating bread from a local bakery in Dong Nai. Several patients have been hospitalized with some in critical condition. The authorities are currently investigating the source of contamination and working towards preventing further cases of food poisoning. More information about this situation is expected to be released soon.
