Two people died from bacterial infection in the Carlos Haya Hospital in Málaga

Two people have died in the Carlos Haya Hospital in Málaga from a bacterial infection. They were affected by the outbreak of ‘klebsiella pneumoniae’ , a rod shaped bacterium found in the normal flora of the mouth, skin and intestines, which was registered in the hospital last month, and those affected have been placed in isolation. The bacterium is capable of mutating to bring a version which is resistant to the normal medical treatment. There are 17 people still undergoing treatment and in isolation. One of those to die was clearing infected, the other appear not to have been so, but the hospital information says both had severe pre-existing conditions and that could have been the cause of death. The nursing union has asked for responsibilities. Union SATSE called for the ‘immediate sacking’ of the medical sub-director at the Carlos Haya, and claim that the management has acted ‘slowly and badly’ with a lack of information for nursing professionals and others.
