SALMONELLOSIS, TOURISTS - UNITED KINGDOM ex TURKEY: ALERT
It emerged yesterday [8 Sep 2008], hundreds of British holidaymakers may have been struck down with salmonellosis. Some have already been diagnosed with the potential serious infection after returning from a hotel complex in Turkey. These numbers are expected to rise. The tourists affected were staying at the Holiday Village Turkey in the resort of Sarigerme. They suffered sickness and diarrhea and some were so ill they had to be taken to hospital for treatment.
It has been stated that, "From all reports coming out of the resort, we expect the number of cases to rise significantly over the next few days. Estimates put the figure of those affected at well over 1000. Anyone returning to the UK from Sarigerme who has been ill should see their doctor immediately."
Last night [8 Sep 2008], a spokeswoman for travel agency involved said "a very small proportion" of guests at the resort reported being ill and were being treated for an "airborne virus." She added, "We are taking every precaution possible to safeguard the health and well being of our guests."
