Thai Binh: A man in critical condition after eating undercooked pig intestines

The Central Hospital for Tropical Diseases has just admitted a 49-year-old male patient with facial necrotizing purpura that has spread rapidly throughout the body and is mainly concentrated in both legs and arms.

Doctors determined that the patient was infected with streptococcus suis - an extremely dangerous bacteria transmitted through raw meat, blood pudding, or undercooked food.

The patient is currently on a ventilator and dialysis, with a very poor prognosis.

There is currently no vaccine to prevent it. If not detected and treated promptly, the disease can leave serious sequelae such as deafness, nerve damage or multiple organ failure./.
