In a follow-up on the Legionnaires’ disease outbreak in the North Region of Portugal, health authorities have declared the outbreak over, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).
The outbreak in Póvoa de Varzim, Vila do Conde and Matosinhos counties, which began in late October, resulted in a total of 88 cases, including 15 deaths.
The source of exposure has not been identified.
Legionella bacteria occur naturally in the environment. Water containing Legionella can be aerosolized through cooling towers, showers, hot tubs, and decorative fountains, and can cause Legionnaire’s disease, a serious lung infection (pneumonia) when inhaled.
The supervisor of the Epidemiological Surveillance program, María Valdez said in a press conference Friday since the beginning of the year, 145 confirmed salmonellosis cases have been reported in Salta province.
More than 80 percent of the infections were concentrated in the city of Salta and the rest in municipalities in the interior. “In the last outbreak, the cases were doubled compared to the previous period,” said the official.
According to provincial statistics, the age range that has contracted the most salmonellosis is found in babies and children up to 9 years of age, representing 44 percent of cases.
It was stated that the health authorities work together with the Bromatology teams of the province and the municipalities. In addition, actions, preventive measures and investigation of cases are coordinated with the company Aguas del Norte and with the Regulatory Body of Public Services.

Food contaminated with Clostridium botulinum toxin may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick.
Symptoms in adults can include facial paralysis or loss of facial expression, unreactive or fixed pupils, difficulty swallowing, drooping eyelids, blurred or double vision, difficulty speaking, including slurred speech, and a change in sound of voice, including hoarseness.
Symptoms of foodborne botulism in children can include difficulty swallowing, slurred speech, generalized weakness and paralysis. In all cases, botulism does not cause a fever. In severe cases of illness, people may die.
This recall was triggered by the company. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of other products. If other high-risk products are recalled, the CFIA will notify the public through updated Food Recall Warnings.
