TWINS INFECTED WITH SALMONELLA FROM RAW EGG SAUCE|2歲雙胞胎食生蛋 染沙門氏桿菌引敗血症

A pair of two-year-old twins in Taichung were having a fever and bloody stools for three or four days. After going to the hospital, the twins were found to be infected with Salmonella because the parents put raw eggs in hot pot stew dipping sauce. Doctors pointed out that young children should refrain from eating raw eggs. Two-year-old twins in Taichung ate hotpot at home with their parents. The twins were infected with the salmonella which can be lethal. The source of infection was a hot pot sauce mixture with raw eggs. ==LIN HUNG-CHIH Pediatrics Division Supervisor, Asia University Hospital== Children's intestines are easily infected and this can cause enteritis. If it gets serious, the intestines may perforate. Another thing is when the virus enters the bloodstream there may be sepsis. The parents said that the two toddlers suffered from fever and blood in stools for three to four days. The hospital confirmed that the children were infected with salmonella and doctors said that salmonella is common in high temperatures, and the virus can permeate through egg shells to the yolk and white. ==PARENT== If there is any raw food, I cook it thoroughly before I give it to my kids. (Would you give them raw eggs?) No. ==PARENT== I worry that my child's stomach and intestines are not strong enough to cope with salmonella. Doctors said the salmonella virus is present in water, poultry, milk, eggs and meat. The viruses are common at any temperature above room temperature. Food should be cooked at over 70 degrees Celsius for five minutes to kill salmonella. Doctors said the public and especially to children, should not consume raw eggs.
