Probe into outbreak of diarrhoea

KOTA KINABALU: Health officials hope to narrow down the possible causes of 150 children in Sabah’s Kota Belud district being struck with diarrhoea and fever over the past week. 

Sabah Health Department deputy director Dr Mohd Yusof Ibrahim said although health officials initially ruled out cholera and typhoid, they would carry out tests on all samples for the diseases “to cover all bases.”
