UK – Scottish Nursery Children Ill with Salmonella

Evening Telegraph

Several children who attend the same Dundee nursery have been hit by salmonella.

Eight children at Technotots Nursery in Brunel Road, Wester Gourdie Industrial Estate, were struck down with the bacteria last month.

NHS Tayside’s health protection team, environmental health officers and Health Protection Scotland have been called in to identify the source of exposure. As yet the investigation has not revealed what caused the salmonella infections but the owner of Technotots denies it originated in the nursery.

The children involved were not believed to have been taken seriously ill.

An NHS Tayside spokeswoman said none had to be hospitalised as a result of their condition.
