About 1,200 people in the Cincinnati area are being plagued by a disease known
as shigellosis. Health officials are targeting education efforts to day care centers
and other areas where the illness might be easily spread. Doctors with the Ohio
Department of Health have been in Cincinnati studying the outbreak. In an interview
with Ohio Public Radio's Jo Ingles, the health department's Dr. Mary DiOrio of
the Ohio Department of Health explains this outbreak is serious. She says there
are also some cases of the disease in northern Kentucky but she doesn't track
numbers for those areas. DiOrio says her office will continue to keep a close
watch on the spread of the illness. |
