woman
Jun 28, 2026
During the incubation period, she purchased raw pork from a meat
stall and a supermarket in the Eastern District and handled raw
pork without wearing gloves during food preparation. Her home
contact remained asymptomatic.
Human Streptococcus suis infection is a zoonotic infection
associated with pigs. The infection can be fatal, particularly
if the specific strain produces certain toxins. S. suis
infection can manifest itself in meningitis, hearing impairment,
toxic shock, septicemia and endocarditis.
