Expert Opinion
We have been contacted by a person who has been affected by this alleged outbreak. The illness described to us is very concerning, and it is particularly worrying that a number of children may have been affected.
“We have seen a number of instances where illness continues to affect victims long after they return from their trips abroad. Such problems can often lead to the development of long-term health conditions from which sufferers may never fully recover. “ Amandeep Dhillon - Partner
