6- INFANT DEATH DUE TO THIS BACTERIA IN SOME EUROPEAN COUNTRIES. CAN YOU PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT THE REASONS?
“Infant deaths are a cause for concern. A similar situation does not currently exist in our country. However, it should be a warning if it happens in other countries, these infections should be treated more carefully.
The exact cause of the infant deaths is not known at this time, but various possibilities are being discussed. One of these is the possibility that a more virulent, aggressive bacterial species has entered the circulation, capable of causing more disease and death. But there is no definitive proof yet. Apart from that, as there are many viral infections, some patients may have been neglected and their treatment may not be started on time.
It is also possible that children’s immunity decreases due to intense viral infections and that the bacterial infection progresses more severely. Another possibility that has been highlighted a lot is that children remain very isolated during the pandemic and don’t encounter many infections, which lowers their immune responses. Even if we are only evaluating the possibilities at the moment, the exact reason will become clear over time.”
