Hung Yen: 42 teachers and students of An My Primary School hospitalized after a boarding meal

According to a source from Nhan Dan Newspaper, the incident occurred at noon on September 3 after a lunch at An My Primary School (Phu Duc Commune, Hung Yen Province), causing 1 teacher and 41 students from all grades to be hospitalized at Phu Duc General Hospital for emergency treatment.

An My Primary School (Phu Duc Commune, Hung Yen Province), where 42 teachers and students were hospitalized after a lunch at school.

The number of teachers and students who had to be hospitalized for emergency treatment began on the afternoon of September 3 (previously being monitored at the Commune Health Station). The cases appeared sporadically in grades 1 to 5, the most serious of which was a female teacher born in 1975 who was hospitalized around 5:00 p.m. on September 3 with abdominal pain, and it was not until 9:00 p.m. the same day that the pain stopped.

Through monitoring, most students were admitted to the hospital with similar symptoms such as abdominal cramps, vomiting and loose stools; notably, some students had fever and were closely monitored and given IV fluids.

Phu Duc General Hospital had to mobilize additional teams of emergency doctors and nurses and arrange beds for teachers and students to be monitored and treated.

By the evening of September 5, most of the hospitalized cases were conscious, with only a few children showing symptoms of bloating, indigestion, and diarrhea. The female teacher is still hospitalized and under observation.

Quickly asking the students, we got information that at noon on September 3, the children ate rice with quail eggs, minced meat and pumpkin soup. On the evening of September 3, the Hung Yen Province Food Safety and Hygiene Department, led by Mr. Do Manh Hung, Head of the Department, and other officers went to the hospital to verify, collect information and take samples for testing.

Currently, Phu Duc General Hospital is treating digestive disorders and monitoring food poisoning because the children all ate at the same place, at the same time and especially have the same symptoms.

The incident is still under investigation.
