Scabies outbreak forces hospital to close wards
Original: Scabies outbreak at hospital closes wards
A hospital has closed several wards after an outbreak of scabies among patients and possibly staff. The skin condition, caused by mites, spreads easily in close-contact healthcare settings, prompting deep cleaning and suspension of admissions to affected units. The hospital is contacting patients and relatives who may have been exposed while details of the number of cases remain limited.
Why now: Hospital infection outbreaks raise immediate concern about patient safety and local healthcare disruption.
