He brushed his death during the holidays. All because of the legionnaire disease
The 45-year-old tourist flew to Turkey to rent a four-star hotel and rest in Kemer. Careless moments were brutally interrupted by the disease. The man claims that in a room where he temporarily lived with his wife, a terrible smell was floated. The whole building was neglected – simply “dirty”.
The 45-year-old was written by The Sun. A UK citizen wanted to rest in a seaside resort, which is why he and his wife and children chose Turkish Kemer. They found a hotel that seemed to provide good conditions. They paid two thousand pounds (over PLN 10,000) for all holidays that almost ended tragically.
The 45-year-old claims that in the hostel, which was “dirty”, he got infected with the bacterium of the genionella, causing legionaries’ illness (legionellosis). The man reports in an interview with the editors of the British newspaper that there was moisture inside the building, there was a bad smell in the rooms. Still in Turkey, he noticed minor symptoms of malaise, but only after returning to the country the symptoms of the developing disease began to be clearly visible.
The 45-year-old was to get infected with Legionellosis in Turkey. “I am lucky to live”
Here are the symptoms of legionellosis. The Poviat Sanitary and Epidemiological Station in Bytom informed at one time that this disease most often “begins to fever, chills, headache and muscles.” “After that, there is a dry cough and breathing difficulties, which proceed to severe pneumonia. Between 25 and 50 percent of infected patients also suffers from diarrhea,” experts pointed out. Another 50 percent He experiences confusion (disorders of consciousness) or delirium.
How can infection occur? By inhaling the aerosol with a bacterium, which is not visible to the human eye. They “land” in the air when releasing tap water or after rinsing the toilet. The 45-year-old in an interview with “The Sun” admitted that the bathroom in the hotel was not kept in good condition.
The British, who was bored with chest, shortness of breath or fever, soon went to the hospital. There he was put into a state of pharmacological coma. The man thinks “he is lucky to live.” A year has passed since the bacterium has been infected (he got sick in the second half of August), but he is still struggling with complications (such as movement problems or the feeling of general weakness of the body).
