Hanoi has recorded its first death from streptococcus suis this year. The patient was a 53-year-old man from Dan Phuong district.

A 38-year-old male pork crackling processing worker contracted the disease a few days after cutting his hand on the job.

After consuming raw pork dishes, a 62-year-old man developed a high fever and headaches, leading to a diagnosis of meningitis and sepsis caused by streptococcus suis.

Consuming pig's blood pudding, especially if improperly prepared or from uninspected sources, carries the risk of streptococcus suis infection.

Six out of 17 people were hospitalized after eating pig blood pudding, with two fatalities.

A 63-year-old man is in critical condition after consuming tiet canh (a dish made with raw pig's blood) and pork intestines, suspected of contracting streptococcus suis.

A 30-year-old man is in critical condition after consuming pig's blood pudding three days ago. He exhibits symptoms including purpura, a full-body rash, and altered mental status, leading doctors to suspect streptococcus suis infection.
