HSE investigating if death of four-year-old child is linked to Strep A

THE HSE IS investigating if a four-year-old child has died from Strep A in Ireland.

The doctor said the child’s death occurred in the Area A region which includes parts of north Dublin as well as the northeast of the country. The girl was a pupil of Black Mountain Primary School. The Public Health Agency sent a letter to parents at the school stating that one of the pupils had a severe form of Strep A, and children were asked to attend a doctor’s clinic and to take a preventative course of antibiotics.Advertisement

Doherty also expressed his support for the staff and pupils at Black Mountain Primary School, and stressed the importance of them now receiving support for the coming months.
