Sweden confirms meningitis case in girl after Japan scout jamboree
Two other probable cases in Sweden come after Scottish officials send precautionary letter to 4,000 British scouts who took part in 12-day gathering
Swedish health authorities have confirmed one case of meningitis and two possible cases in a group of young people returning from a recent scout jamboree in Japan.
The Swedish case comes after three scouts from northern Scotland, who attended the same jamboree, needed treatment for meningitis last week. Scottish health officials wrote to about 4,000 British scouts who took part to warn them to be on the lookout for symptoms, while playing down the risks.
“We have one confirmed case of meningitis. It’s a young girl who is being treated here,” a spokeswoman for Stockholm’s Karolinska hospital, Mirjam Kontio, told AFP.
Two other probable cases are currently being examined, Swedish Public HealthAgency spokesman Christer Janson said.
