The spread of infection – which has been ongoing since 2023 – was assessed in the spring to be over in the departments where the outbreak first started. But now the infection has been detected in a new department.
According to Joacim Stalfors, first chief physician, the bacterium is difficult to get rid of since it is in the sewage system, but at the same time emphasizes that as a patient you do not need to feel worried.
It is our most fragile multi-sick patients who are affected. We have learned to handle this bacterium, and as soon as we identify an infection, we take action to get control, he says to the magazine.
