Weiterer Fall in GB ANTHRAX - UNITED KINGDOM (08): (SCOTLAND) ***************************************** A ProMED-mail post http://www.promedmail.org ProMED-mail is a program of the International Society for Infectious Diseases http://www.isid.org Date: 22 Jan 2010 Source: BBC News [edited] http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/glasgow_and_west/8476088.stm Anthrax outbreak cases reach 15 ------------------------------- A further case of anthrax has been confirmed in a drug user in Scotland, bringing the total number of cases in this outbreak to 15. The new case of the potential killer was confirmed to have taken place in the National Health Service (NHS) Ayrshire and Arran area. So far, the number of anthrax related deaths stands at 7 with cases confirmed in 6 NHS boards. Investigations are continuing into whether contaminated heroin or a cutting agent may be responsible. Dr Colin Ramsay, consultant epidemiologist at Health Protection Scotland, said: "Heroin users all across Scotland need to be aware of the risk that their supply may be contaminated. They should seek medical advice urgently if they experience signs of infection such as redness and swelling of an infection site or high fever. I would urge all drug users to stop using heroin immediately and contact local drug services for support." In addition, any users who continue to inject heroin are strongly recommended not to re-use filters, but to use a fresh filter each time they inject. ------------------------------------------------------ Die Tipps von Dr. Ramsay werden wohl nicht auf fruchtbaren Boden fallen...
