Lubumbashi: a birthday snack turns into a drama

-
Last week in the Lido Golf district, a birthday snack that was held under the good auspices, unfortunately had a tragic end because after the party, the young guests all ended their day in a hospital in Ruashi before being transferred to the CMC following a collective food poisoning (TIAC) ​​where a dozen children, arrived in emergency and in critical condition at night, were hospitalized for appropriate care.

Unfortunately, despite the efforts of the medical staff on duty, the little Berouria K., 4 years old, raises the "Golden Age" at school, who was also invited to this afternoon tea, died on Tuesday 24 April 2018 at 23:30 '. According to some sources, the cause of this death is due to negligence of the rules of hygiene that would not have respected the caterer of the party.

The little Berouria K., 4 years old, died of a food poisoning at a birthday party on Tuesday, April 24, 2018.

Alain K., father of the deceased daughter, would have also seized the justice in this direction and a judicial investigation with medical examinations would be in progress since food samples of this dramatic snack have already been sent for expertise in Kinshasa.

According to a medical expert, who took care of these children if we talk more often about salmonella and E. coli, in the case of this birthday snack the pathogen would rather be Clostridium Botulinum, an anaerobic bacterium which secretes one of the most powerful toxins in the world.

This drama is reminiscent of a similar case that involved the restaurateur Miga Gelato. Those who had eaten the salad that day at his restaurant in the La Plage Complex had met at the Lubumbashi University Clinic.
