18-month-old child dies in hospital in Catanzaro, four more hospitalized

A one-and-a-half-year-old child died at the hospital in Catanzaro after being transferred there from Vibo Valentia due to worsening health conditions suspected to be septicemia. Four other children from the same kindergarten in Tropea, where the deceased child was enrolled, were hospitalized with similar symptoms. Three of them were discharged while one remains hospitalized. The local prosecutor has opened an investigation, and the child’s medical records have been seized. The parents filed a complaint with the police, and the body has been subjected to an autopsy. The child had initially been treated in Vibo Valentia before being moved to Catanzaro. The kindergarten director suggested that the illness might be caused by a bacteria, such as Clostridium difficile, which cannot be eliminated by standard chlorine-based disinfectants used in schools but requires hydrogen peroxide, typically used in hospitals.
