Salmonellosis affected 16 children from a kindergarten in Varna. Initial data from the Regional Health Inspectorate and the Food Safety Agency show that there is no contaminated food or staff member in the garden who is a carrier of the bacterium.
The garden staff informed the parents about the infection, which affected some of the children in the garden, emphasizing that there was no reason to panic because of the negative food and staff samples.
However, some parents have chosen to keep their children at home for a few days just in case.
According to the assistant educator Galina Angelova, the infection was most likely brought from outside, because none of the staff members is a carrier of the bacterium.
By the end of last week, a total of 13 children had been diagnosed with the disease, but it turned out that three more children were suffering from salmonellosis.
The uncertainty about the exact number of children infected with salmonella is due to the fact that some children have the disease in an extremely mild form.
This led their parents to treat them for the common summer flu and not to treat them adequately.
Following the isolation of the salmonella bacterium in the samples of infected children, all graduates of the kindergarten will be tested for carrier.
Although a mild form of the disease is observed in children in Varna, it should not be forgotten that salmonellosis is an acute infectious disease.
It is caused by bacteria of the genus Salmonella, which when broken down release an endotoxin that damages the nervous system and internal organs, such as the lungs, liver, spleen and others.
Some salmonella bacteria also secrete enterotoxin, which causes diarrhea accompanied by the release of large amounts of fluids and electrolytes.
Salmonella bacteria develop and multiply in domestic and wild animals, birds and fish. Infection usually occurs when eating undercooked meat, milk, eggs and more.
It can also be caused by healthy bacteria that contaminate food.
