Ponizej krotki fragment z artykolu o tym ze w szpitalu we wloszech mala dziewczynka zostala zarazona malaria i umarla. Dwa tygodnie wczesniej dzielila w szpitalu pokoj z twojgiem dzieciakow z Burina Faso chorymi na malaria. Czy to mozliwe ? - malo prawdopodobne ale jak widac stalo sie. Drugie mozliwe wytlumaczeni to ze malari nabawila sie w Bibione. Jest to region wenecji gdzie wiele rzek wpada do moza i komary nie naleza do zadkosci. Jesli tak to jest to kolejny powod aby nie jezdzic do wloch na wakacje. Jakby nie bylo - wyrazy wspolczucia dla bliskich
Malaria killed a 4-year-old girl in Italy, raising fears that the mosquito-borne disease has returned to the country after decades.
Sonia Zago developed a high fever after returning home from a vacation in Bibione, a seaside town on the Adriatic coast near Venice.
As her condition worsened, she was taken to a hospital in the northern city of Trento. Within an hour of arriving, the girl had fallen into a coma and was diagnosed with malaria. Zago was then transferred to a hospital in Brescia that treats tropical diseases, but she died on Sunday night.
The girl had never traveled to a risk-prone country, raising questions about how she contracted the disease.
The Ministry of Health confirmed Tuesday that it had dispatched a team of experts to investigate.
Dr. Claudio Paternoster, director of the infectious diseases ward at Santa Chiara hospital in Trento, said that he had not seen a case of home-grown malaria during his 30-year career.
He said that Zago had been admitted to the facility about two weeks ago due to suspected diabetes and had shared a ward with two children who had contracted malaria while in Burkina Faso.
