Mystery Illness Hits Hungary
Hundreds of people have fallen ill in Nagykőrös, Pest county in recent days, HVG reports.

It is not known for the time being what caused the illnesses as the authorities have not yet completed their tests.

Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain.

Five children who were hospitalised due to dehydration have been released.

The national food safety authority Nébih took the necessary steps in the affected institutions, including ordering a major disinfection clean-up, which also extended to the kitchen facilities.

An investigation into the incident is currently underway.

Caterer Eatrend, which provides meals to the public in the town, said a virus has appeared in several points of the country, as well as in Nagykőrös.

It said the food samples examined by the food safety authority are negative.
